Part Number: AM4378

Tool/software: Linux

Dear,

We designed a board broadly based on AM437x-gp-evm. We use SDK4.01.

If we connect mouse and boot the board, weston window starts normally and our application also runs normally.

But I want to start weston window without mouse. Because we do not use mouse in our product.

How do i start weston window without mouse?

Regards,

Hello,

Please, add require-input=false option to [core] section in /etc/weston.ini file.
You could check this link for more information:
manpages.ubuntu.com/.../weston.ini.5.html
Search for require-input.

Hope this helps.

Dear,
I used "require-input=false" . But weston does not start up without mouse.My weston.ini file contents as given below.

[shell]
locking=false
animation=zoom
panel-location=no
startup-animation=fade

[screensaver]
# Uncomment path to disable screensaver
#path=@libexecdir@/weston-screensaver

[output]
name=HDMI-A-1
mode=1024x768

[core]
require-input = false

Hello,

Seems fine, except the spaces before and after =.
Please, try to remove them and reboot.

Dear Margarita,
