Haven't found the answer to this one on the web. If I want to plug in a USB keyboard and mouse, do I need xorg config entries, or does the hotplugging system handle that for me?
Yes. :) /serious mode Assuming you're using a newer version of SUSE (10.0 / 10.1) and a fairly decent laptop, then you should be able to plugin and go. Have you tried this? On my main laptop (10.1) I have never tried to plug in a keyboard, but I often plug in a USB Kidz Mouse for my rugrats. Ever since 9.3, I've always simply had the message come up and ask me if I want to configure the mouse (which I deny) and then I just start using it. AFAIK, the software "hotplug" has been deprecated and has been replaced with udev, which has some benefits in terms of speed and accessibility over hotplug. If you're in KDE, press CTRL + ESC to bring up a list of system processes (kind of like CTRL + ALT + DEL in Wintendo) and you should not see hotplug in the list. Scrolling down you should see udevd in there. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com
