[yocto] Problem with mouse and keyboard detection in yocto (core-image-sato on emenlow)

[Andreas Enbacka]

I tried to rebuild the xf86-input-evdev; however the core-image-sato still insists on using the default mouse / keyboard drivers instead of evdev. Also no /dev/input/event* entries exist (only /dev/input/mice and /dev/input/mouse0). 

Concerning removing xf86-input-mouse / xf86-input-keyboard from the image, what is the easiest way to achieve this using yocto? I have created a custom bitbake recipe already, inheriting from core-image-sato, which adds a few packages. Can removal of packages be easily specified in the custom recipe as well?

This because I have a custom application that handles the touch screen calibration running on top of X, and itexpects the mouse to be added via evdev.

Probably - you could try removing the mouse and keyboard drivers and leaving just evdev if it still prefers mouse/keyboard over evdev.
