[Solved] No XOrg mouse or keyboard under VirtualBox Guest

Having problems with the Gentoo Handbook? If you're still working your way through it, or just need some info before you start your install, this is the place. All other questions go elsewhere.

[Solved] No XOrg mouse or keyboard under VirtualBox Guest

  • Quote

Post by IceFreak2000 » Sun Nov 03, 2013 9:37 am

Hoping some of you lovely people can help! It's been a very long time since I installed Gentoo as a VirtualBox Guest OS, and I've run into a bit of a brick wall.

I've got a working console installation up and running, I've emerged "virtualbox-guest-additions", added the additions to the default runlevel (which appear to be loaded OK with lsmod) but whenever I start gdm (manually at the moment) I'm getting the graphical login prompt but neither my mouse nor my keyboard respond.

I'm a bit lost at the moment - any clues?

I'm no expert, but these are solutions that I've found for similar problems in the past.
You need this in your make.conf. If you don't have it, try adding it and rebuilding:

Code: Select all

INPUT_DEVICES="evdev"
Also, emerging xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse might fix the problem.

I've tried adding "evdev" to INPUT_DEVICES, and explicitly emerging xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse but no luck.

Any other ideas?

Any ideas would be appreciated - drawing a blank here...

Again, I'm not an expert but I would guess your problem is probably here:

Code: Select all

[   316.368] (EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module does not exist, 0) 
[   316.368] (EE) No input driver matching `evdev'
Try this in root or with sudo:

Code: Select all

modprobe evdev
^This should not give you any problems. It sounds like maybe you didn't rebuild the system after editing your make.conf which is probably why you seem not to have it. INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" is like a global use flag. If you're unfamiliar with this please read https://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/ ... t=2&chap=1. If you have not rebuilt the system since you began to install this may pull in a lot of packages, especially if you have a lot of global use flags. If you didn't rebuild after editing your make.conf this should add global evdev support, which may be your problem. Try:

Code: Select all

emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse  -av world
emerge gentoolkit && revdep-rebuild
If you've removed any packages you should emerge --depclean to keep your system tidy. If that doesn't fix it then maybe the problem could also be in your kernel. Did you configure your own kernel or use genkernel? Did you read the part about enabling USB HID in your kernel in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/h ... t=1&chap=7?

Many thanks; I rebuilt as you suggested using

Code: Select all

emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse  -av world 
emerge gentoolkit && revdep-rebuild
and then rebuilt the x11 drivers

Code: Select all

emerge -1 $(qlist -IC x11-drivers)
and everything sprang into life - mouse, keyboard and even screen resizing work perfectly.
