Ok, those experiences of the last hours led to an updated section of the Xorg
configuration process.
As goodie the sound config step was added, as it is quite fast (-:
Conclusions:
--------------------
After pulling and plugging USB cables for 2 hours, the following pattern
became visible:
- if the USB keyboard is connected to the LOOX at boot time,
/dev/input/event0 is the keyboard, /dev/input/event4 is the touchscreen
- if the USB keyboard is connected to the LOOX AFTER boot time,
/dev/input/event2 is the touchscreen, /dev/input/event3 is the keyboard
Keyboard device number is not critical for X, it looks like the Xorg input
driver for it is quite robust. Unfortunatly this doesn't count for the
touchscreen driver.
To make things more interesting: I "found out", that with connected keyboard,
no matter at which stage of the booting process it is connected, starting und
shutting down X is WAAAAAYS slower than before.
The real kicker is, if I connect the Loox via USB network to the desktop box,
no lagging occurs, BUT only, and that is like a double kicker ONLY if I
do "ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.1" on the desktop boxx
no kidding, connecting the cable alone is not enough, startx in snail mode.
Closing X, call ifconfig on the desktop box, start X again, and voila...
(one thing would be interesting: right now I haven't tested no USB keyboard,no
USB net connection setup as runlevel 5 isn't working yet...all tests with
touchscreen only were when connected via USB network)
Ok, I am off for bed, one last smoke and one thing for those real experts out
there to think about, I just write WWW docs and buggy progs (-:
