edit:

this has nothing to do with elogind !

that's why i changed the subject (if it's ok) :roll:

hello,

want to try out sway (AMD RX 590), after getting some informations beforehand, it worked fine at first, but after changing some settings the keyboard surprisingly failed - no keyboard input anymore.

even though i put the correct settings in sway-config and didn't change :

Code:
input "type:keyboard" {
    xkb_layout de(nodeadkeys),
}


and .xsession-errors is getting spammed with following (non)errors:

Code:
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86BrightnessAuto
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86DisplayOff
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86Info
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86AspectRatio
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86DVD
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86Audio
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86ChannelUp
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86ChannelDown
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86Break
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86VideoPhone
.... and so on


.xsession-errors goes up to 12 - 15MB after a while.

tried out new EndeavourOS and or Garuda and it's working fine, but with systemd - .xsession-errors problem exists here,too.

is someone using sway with elogind and can give me some tips.

which ebuilds and configurations are necessary and or useful ?

thx

Using stock gentoo ebuilds, works fine here , amd as well, don't have anything keyboard related in the sway config

Code:
[root:~] # equery uses sway
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
[ Colors : set, unset                             ]
 * Found these USE flags for gui-wm/sway-1.6.1-r1:

thx for reply :D

it's not working :cry:

but the same input config is working on endeavour os without problems :!: :?:

and it's weird that if i open dmenu via mouse and press many keys at once, some keys are showing up, but very delayed.

as i mentioned, it worked before with the keyboard config above.

i use evdev should i switch to libinput ?

here's my swaymsg -t get_inputs:

this is really weird, today i started my pc and sway is working great, no problems so far with the keyboard.

all apps working, e.g. ungoogled-chromium and or all other apps which runs with
Code:
x11-base/xwayland


even with
Code:
Exec=dbus-run-session sway
in
Code:
/usr/share/wayland-sessions/sway.desktop


i adapted some of the settings for sway and waybar from endeavour os :roll:

sadly, the keyboard problem on wayland came back.

it turns out that the keyboard sometimes don't work after cold restart.

unplugging and repluggind solved the issue, the keyboard is back on swaywm.

with mate never got problems at all.

what is the difference between xorg and wayland regarding keyboard input :?:

i also get these messages in .xsession-errors:

Code:
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Warning:          Unsupported maximum keycode 708, clipping.
>                   X11 cannot support keycodes above 255.


Code:
00:04:20.628 [ERROR] [wlr] [libinput] event1  - Kingston HyperX Alloy Elite 2: client bug: event processing lagging behind by 13ms, your system is too slow


including this spamming:

Code:

> Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86DisplayOff
> Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86Info

> Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86Editor
> Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86GraphicsEditor
> Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86Presentation....and so on


is it possible to add more Info about my input devices in sway or waybar config files, to get rid of these above messages :?:

thx

libinput bugged me so much in sway, so i tried many things 8O

lastly, i removed 40-libinput.conf in /etc/x11/xorg.conf.d and my keyboard switched to EN at lightdm login, but this is unbelievable my keyboard including right settings (de / nodeadkeys) working (again) in sway.

this finally solved it for me 8)

edit:

not really solved (i put 40-libinput.conf back) , because sometimes after restart or cold start, it won't work, only with sway and sometimes it just works great :twisted:

i can live with it anyway - i love problems - it's fun to search for solutions :lol:

maybe, my system have problems providing enough juice for my Kingston HyperX Alloy Elite 2 keyboard and connected Logitech 400 Mouse,

or it's going into USB sleep mode, to soon.

i also could get rid of this awful .xsession-errors spam regarding keyboard:

Code:
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86BrightnessAuto
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86DisplayOff
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86Info
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86AspectRatio
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86DVD
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86Audio
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86ChannelUp
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86ChannelDown
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86Break
Warning:          Could not resolve keysym XF86VideoPhone
.... and so on


by using a patch from the developers of libX11:

Code:
diff --git a/src/util/makekeys.c b/src/util/makekeys.c
index e847ef4c6c87e291d5e6862e0973c847a51fa912..4896cc5398a854c20b185fa2762ff7ed01f9e9a7 100644
--- a/src/util/makekeys.c
+++ b/src/util/makekeys.c
@@ -78,6 +78,18 @@ parse_line(const char *buf, char *key, KeySym *val, char *prefix)
         return 1;
     }

+    /* See if we can parse one of the _EVDEVK symbols */
+    i = sscanf(buf, "#define %127s _EVDEVK(0x%lx)", key, val);
+    if (i == 2 && (tmp = strstr(key, "XK_"))) {
+        memcpy(prefix, key, (size_t)(tmp - key));
+        prefix[tmp - key] = '\0';
+        tmp += 3;
+        memmove(key, tmp, strlen(tmp) + 1);
+
+        *val += 0x10081000;
+        return 1;
+    }
+
     /* Now try to catch alias (XK_foo XK_bar) definitions, and resolve them
      * immediately: if the target is in the form XF86XK_foo, we need to
      * canonicalise this to XF86foo before we do the lookup. */


just add this to /etc/portage/patches/x11-libs/libX11/libX11_EVDEVK_symbols.patch

and re-emerge libX11.

8) :D
