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

[Andreas Enbacka]

Hello,

I was finally able to get evdev working with the core-image-sato image. First I tried to fetch the dylan branch (yocto and meta-intel/meta-emenlow), and did a rebuild. However, evdev support was still missing from the kernel (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV not set). Then I ran menuconfig, and enabled the event input interface in the kernel config, and performed image rebuild. After that evdev support was working fine. 

Thanks for the help!

Best regards,
Andreas

And I can confirm that with an atom-pc board I configured just minutes ago:

% grep EVDEV linux-atom-pc-standard-build/.config
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y

Cheers,

Bruce
