Configuring the Input Devices
Next, configure the input devices as follows:
1. Copy the section beginning:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
and insert a duplicate copy (or copies) below the existing section, until there is one
copy for each keyboard (including the original copy in this count).
2. Edit all the keyboard InputDevice sections, in each one changing the driver from
“keyboard” to “evdev” and adding an Option line identifying the appropriate event
device (in this example, “/dev/input/event0”). The resulting InputDevice
sections will look something like the following:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"
# ...
EndSection
Note: See “Identifying Event Devices” on page 147 for instructions on how to
determine the appropriate event device for each section.
Note: You may assign any number of keyboards to a single Xserver, but no keyboard
may be assigned to more than one Xserver.
3. Copy the section beginning:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
and insert a duplicate copy (or copies) below the existing section, until there is one
copy for each pointing device (including the original copy in this count).
4. Edit all the mouse InputDevice sections, changing the Option “Device” line from
the default “/dev/input/mice” to one identifying the appropriate event device
(in this example, “/dev/input/mouse0”). The resulting InputDevice sections will
look something like the following:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
