 Posted: Sun May 10, 2009 2:36 am Post subject: [fixed] USB mouse and keyboard not detected when starting X |
 |
|
After battling with my kernel for 3 days, I've finally made it to this X handbook page:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
Yet, after I run "Xorg -configure", then "X -config /root/xorg.conf.new", neither my mouse nor my keyboard works. I've googled the problem, but to no avail. What may be the problem? The terminal detects the keyboard fine, and it seems like it recognizes the mouse as well.
Here's what /etc/make.conf looks like:
| Code: | # These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example.
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe"

I've also tested, for mouse, "/dev/mouse" and "/dev/input/mouse", where neither worked.
Edit: Finally got it working. It's simply hal not working. Solution is to run:
| Code: | /etc/init.d/hald start
rc-update add hald default |

That guide is not fully correct with xorg-server 1.5,
read the upgrade guide.
As for the problem: read the logs, check if hal is running,
make sure you've reemerged the drivers after server upgrade
and you really have evdev driver emerged. |

Add this to xorg.conf:
| Code: | Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
EndSeciotn |

Don't do that. It's incorrect for several reasons. |

I just tested /dev/input/mice, and able to confirm that I got some input out of it. It seems Xorg specifically cannot detect the keyboard and mouse...
I also added the "Don't allow Empty input" flag in both /etc/X11/xorg.conf and xorg.conf.new, but nothing happened.
| VoidMage wrote: | | As for the problem: read the logs, check if hal is running, |
I'm checking out /var/log, but I see no log labeled for hal. Xorg.0.log is empty, and Xorg.0.log.old contained settings after running "Xorg -configure".
Anyway, I was aware that they had an update on Xorg:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/xorg-server-1.5-upgrade-guide.xml
I'm reading the hal part, and as an example, it says to copy usr/share/doc/hal-*/use-estonian-layout.fdi.bz2 to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-xinput-configuration.fdi. Since in my case, I'm using a standard English keyboard, I should copy the use-kbd-driver.fdi.bz2 instead. However, 10-xinput-configuration.fdi itself doesn't exist yet, making bzcat pretty unusable. Should I just run "touch 10-xinput-configuration.fdi"?
Finally, This is my output when I run lshal:
| Code: | | error: dbus_bus_get: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.FileNotFound: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory |
If you need more output, I'll happily post it. |

So what do you recommend, the only other option not to use hal is to rebuild xorg-server without it.

Is hald being started when you boot?

Unless you configure it another way, Xorg use hald + evdev drivers for mouse and keyboard.
So emerge x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev and make sure that hald is running.
Everything should work fine...

I have this same problem. I'm not trying to hijack here, but my problem seems to be damn near the same.
hald is not appearing to be running on my machine, since produces no results. On a different *nix box it has about 7 entries. How would I start hald on system start-up?
But since the keyboard is working in prior to the launch of x, would that really be the problem? |

*slaps forehead*
Of course. THIS has to be it.
Edit: Bingo, now it works. Yup, Hal was simply not working. It makes perfect sense, now. |
