 Posted: Fri Dec 19, 2003 3:09 pm Post subject: Sun USB Type 6 Keyboard Not Working |
 |
|
I have a Sunblade 150 with a Type 6 USB keyboard. Using the LiveCD (1.4rc5), the keyboard worked fine. But when booting into my 2.4.23-sparc-r1 kernel, the keyboard does not work. I compared dmesg output between the LiveCD and my customed kernel and the USB part is identical.
I disabled everything in Input Core Support and enabled UHCI and OHCI and USB HID Support (tried with and without /dev/hiddev raw HID device support) and the keyboard does not work, though dmesg says:
| Quote: | hub.c: new USB device 00:0c.3-2, assigned address 2
: USB HID v0.01 Keyboard [0430:0005] on usb1:2.0
hub.c: new USB device 00:0c.3-4, assigned address 3
: USB HID v10.01 Mouse [0430:0100] on usb1:3.0 |
I also tried enabling Input Core Support, but it fails when it attempts to compile USB, I forget the exact error.
By default, the keymap is set to sunkeymap. So I tried "us" from another post and still no go. Perhaps its all about finding the right keymap?
Thanks. |

I had the same problem with a Sun 100. Gave off gobbley gook after reboot. Tried all kinds of different keymap combos, copied the keymaps over from the livecd, still no go.
Love to hear the answer. |

Figured it out!
I did a 'make mrproper' (backup your .config or you will lose it). I guess I still had some garbage from earlier causing USB to fail on compile and 'make clean' wasn't clean enough. I enabled Input Core Support and Keyboard and Mouse Support. Then I enabled USB HID support as a modules and enabled HID input layer support.
Now the keyboard works!
I tested the keymap "sunkeymap" and the input was garbled. I reset to "us" and it had the basic keys working. |

I had a similar problem with my Apple USB keyboard on my Ultra 10.
When booting off the LiveCD the keyboard would work fine. But once I'd finished the install the keyboard would produce garbage no matter which keymap I used.
At one point I noticed that the keyboard was working fine (shift-pageup/down) right up until the keymaps were loaded during boot.
My quick hack has been to remove the keymaps script from the rc configuration. Anyone have suggestions on a better fix?
BTW, this keyboard is also working fine under Gnome 2.4. |

| For USB keyboards, you just need to setup the keymap like a regular x86'ish style keyboard. On my Blade 100, I use the "us" keymap. |
