[SOLVED] Missing 10-evdev.conf

I've been away from Linux for a few months and decided it was time to go back home again. I then installed Arch using the same method as I've been using for almost a year, everything went great as normal, my 11 y/o mouse is working (as well as everything), but I noticed the file "/etc/X11/xorg.config.d/10-evdev.conf" was missing. It's not a big deal and I could easily configure my keyboard to "br-abnt2", but I just want to know if I did something wrong or if this is normal on this new version of xorg.

I looked up on the following places and the packages page says that file should exist, and the wiki page doesn't mention changes in xorg config files.

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … ver/files/

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg

You should have 10-evdev.conf in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory, which manages keyboards, mice, touchpads and touchscreens.

If it ain't broke, you haven't tweaked it enough...

Amarildo, check archlinux home page.

In last update to Xorg 1.16, those files are now in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d folder by default.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
