In theory, evdev replaces keyboard and mouse. You can have all three *present*, but you can only *use* either evdev or keyboard/mouse at one time. evdev will give you basic keyboard and mouse functionality. It is always possible that you have unusual hardware and will need to write an fdi file to tell HAL what you have. It is also always possible that you have very unusual hardware that evdev cannot cope with. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
