Add a README Given the misleading name of the repository and CrOS's history with X11, some documentation is in order here. BUG=none TEST=check gitiles rendering Change-Id: I4ddcb6b663cb260514bb0ca45373a03bddc55701 Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/platform/xorg-conf/+/2468658 Tested-by: Harry Cutts <hcutts@chromium.org> Auto-Submit: Harry Cutts <hcutts@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Sean O'Brien <seobrien@chromium.org> Commit-Queue: Sean O'Brien <seobrien@chromium.org>
This repository contains configuration files that were originally for the X Windowing System (a.k.a. X11 or Xorg). CrOS moved away from using X around 2015, but these files are still used to configure input devices. Thankfully this reduction in scope greatly reduces their effect on life satisfaction.
The syntax is now a subset of Xorg's configuration syntax, and using anything outside of that subset will either cause an error or just be ignored. Specifically, only InputClass
sections are supported. Within those, the following entries are supported:
Identifier
;Match
directives (MatchProduct
, MatchDevicePath
, MatchUSBID
, MatchIsPointer
, MatchIsTouchpad
, and MatchIsTouchscreen
);Driver
, which is ignored; andOption
, which is used to specify gesture properties instead of X11 input device options (though some old X11 options may be hanging around).For more details, see the parsing code in Chromium's GesturePropertyProvider
.
