 Posted: Mon Jun 15, 2009 4:56 pm Post subject: [Solved] Mouse+Keyboard not working in Xorg |
 |
|
Hi folks,
I'm getting some weird problem on a fresh install...
I had this problem on my last install but can't seem to find the solution again... :/
Well, problem is, I've got my mouse ans keyboard useless when coming into Xorg (startx)
I suppose my kernel is OK... HID is present...
Xorg is configured with the correct use flags too, so I'm a bit lost.....

Try and follow that guide:

The problem is that I had it working 100% in xorg-server 1.5, but when 1.6 installed it just stopped working. I have followed that guide but I still have no keyboard or mouse input while in X.

RBJ1128: sorry if this is redundant, but have you rebuilt all the
drivers (keyboard, mouse, evdev)?

As far as I know I have. I followed the instructions regarding qlist, but to no avail. I just removed xorg-server and subsequent drivers from package.keywords and I'm trying to roll back to xorg-server-1.5. Hopefully that does the trick for now, but I'll post the results either way.
EDIT: Rolling back from xorg-server-1.6 to xorg-server-1.5 seems to have patched it. I have no idea what was causing the problems, but I'm pretty sure that I'll see it again once 1.6 moves from the testing branch.

I'm having something of the same problem and I'd like to try some of the fixes, but how does one boot to a console so that I can make the fixes? When it boots straight to X my mouse and keyboard refuse to work, of course.
Thanks.

Either login from another computer and perform the tasks or use another computer and temporarily remove xdm from the default runlevel. The last option (as I see it) is to boot to single-user-mode by adding "init_opts=1" to the end of your "kernel" line in grub.

Same problem here, can't do ctrl+alt+f2 because keyboard and mouse broken. This isn't the first time this has happened.
Try doing
emerge xf86-input-evdev
and
/etc/init.d/xdm restart
to fix it. That worked with my system. |

If it is enabled in the kernel then you can use the Magic SysRq key combination to release the keyboard, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key
Once released you can ctrl+alt+f2 into a console. |
