xorg no onboard keyboard,mouse. external usb work (laptop)

Post by Jara0 » Sat Apr 08, 2017 2:59 pm

Symptom: Upon typing startx i lose the ability to use my touchpad and laptop keyboard. desktop appears normally. usb attached mouse and keyboard still work.

Background: I updated world recently. Went mostly smoothly with a few dependency issues that i resolved. Was working with the same 4.8.17 kernel (hardened) before world update.

lspci doesn't mention a synaptic touchpad or a keyboard.

Things iv tried.

rebuild kernel
emerge -av1 $(qlist -IC x11-drivers)
emerge -1 glib dbus dbus-glib eudev
emerge -aveD @system --keep-going
restarting udev and dbus once in desktop to see if it resturns.

not sure whats causing this. Any advice is appreciated.

You said "typing startx", so the laptop keyboard works just fine on the console, then?

What do you have INPUT_DEVICES set to? ( `emerge -pv xorg-drivers` )

What do you have under /dev/input/. and it's subdirectories?

lspci does not list USB or PS/2 devices, obviously.
See your Xorg log for clues.
My Gentoo installation notes.
Please learn how to denote units correctly!

Yes, the keyboard works normally at the console, prior to startx.

Code: Select all

emerge wgetpaste;wgetpaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log

when xorg. gives no clue => above => do this below
Was working with the same 4.8.17 kernel (hardened) before world update.

Code: Select all

tail -10000 /var/log/emerge.log
Choose a number wisely which shows what you have updated.

So you can narrow it down.

The problem is that emerge -aveD1 rebuilt ~350 for system. So those flood the logs. And prior to that ~300 got rebuilt for world.

I also noticed that eth0 is not being brought up automatically by NetworkManager. Normally this ends up being a dbus thing but iv rebuilt all that stuff a few times.

Additionally not using any xorg.conf file. Iv been letting startx autoconfigure for some time.

This sounds very much like what I am experiencing. I lost keyboard/mouse/sound plus network-manager stopped working after an update I did in Feb. USB keyboard/mouse would work, but only if I plugged in after X started.

I resolved the keyboard/mouse/sound issues by downgrading to udev-init-scripts-27 (from the newly updated -32). I do not know why this worked, but these issues all went back to normal after the downgrade and a reboot. I am curious to know if this will help you.

I still have not resolved network-manager issues, but I have not had time to devote to digging into it yet. All I know is that network-manager is suddenly soft blocking the wifi, but if I unblock it and restart wpa-supplicant it connects just fine, although network-manager still insists there is no network.
Enlightenment comes when you hear the sound of one hand slapping your forehead.

THANK YOU!

You called it.

added "=sys-fs/udev-init-scripts-32" to package.mask and did an "emerge -1avD eudev"(which downgraded to udev-init-script-27). Restarted X. Working touchpad and keyboard.
Ethernet and network manager seem happy as well now under X. Bizarre.

Now I'm interested in how that broke things with -32. But thankful to not be using an external mouse and keyboard now.
