 Posted: Sat Jul 20, 2013 10:16 pm Post subject: [solved] USB Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 doesn't work |
 |
|
EDITS: Kernel Config, added lsusb and lspci
Facts:
- It is a wired keyboard
- Keyboard in question works on two other Linux machines (linux 3.0.0 and 2.6.32) (tested after failure observed in Gentoo)
- Another model of Microsoft USB keyboard works with 3.8.13 (both in Xorg and at a VT)
- A couple of times when I've plugged it in, numlock and function lock have sort of worked for a few moments (and then ceased working), but currently I can't get anything to happen.
- The keyboard doesn't work either in Xorg nor at a VT
- The problem is manifest on all USB ports
When plugging the ergonomic keyboard in, I get the below in dmesg (second paste is for the good keyboard). It appears that "hid-generic" doesn't kick in and take ownership of the keyboard (as in the case of the other Microsoft keyboard). I have all of {e,o,u,h}hci enabled in the kernel, along with the standard event interface and hid stuff.
Any help appreciated. Kernel config on request.

| With thanks to NeddySeagoon on freenode #gentoo, this was fixed by setting CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT, CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED and CONFIG_HID_MICROSOFT in my kernel configuration. Not sure which of those fixed it, but I suspect CONFIG_HID_MICROSOFT. |

From those 3, only CONFIG_HID_MICROSOFT is needed.
Do you guys have the Zoom Slider working ? Can't seem to get that one to work.

This has also worked for me, thanks! I think there are certain workarounds with this subject but not much specifics. Here it just works. Maybe updating to certain version will help this or maybe going to a new model. This keyboard is very useful to me so I really have tried to search for ways to be usable with Gentoo. So, here we are....

| FYI even with this a few of the special keys will never work in X11, it's a limitation of the X protocol itself only supporting keycodes up to 255. |
