Re: [gentoo-user] Re: [asking again] keyboard/mouse woes on 2.6 kernel

Thu, 18 Aug 2005 00:21:09 -0700

Thanks for the thoughts guys... I probably will wind up compiling the kernel again from scratch since I haven't been able to make any headway with this issue. I thought I'd read somewhere that genkernel was working pretty smoothly and saved a lot of hassle, but I guess it isn't all it's cracked up to be.
As for your questions, the loss of keyboard and mouse occurs while I'm in X, however, I'm in X most of the time, so that doesn't necessarily mean that much. And after force-quitting X (there's something interesting... ctrl-alt-backspace still works!), I'm generally hosed on the command line too... sometimes I get the wrong characters for keys, sometimes I just get nothing and have to ssh in from another box and reboot. 


I also did try showkey and I'm pretty sure I was getting weird random keycodes popping 
out... especially if I typed fast. My hunch is that it's actually something in the PS2 
driver and not anything in X or the keymap.


thanks again,

Hi,

I don't really know what's going on. Just wanted to suggest some things:

1. I don't think it has anything to do with the 'Unknown key' messages. 
   This simply means that there are some funny keys on the keyboard that 
   the kernel doesn't recognize. You can check it with the showkey(1) 
   program (but under X)


2. Does it happen also when X is not running, or only under X?


3. Maybe you should try recompiling the kernel, and see if there are any 
   options specific to your keyboard (in menuconfig, you can search for 
   a string by pressing /). Maybe you should grep the kernel docs 
   (/usr/src/linux/Documentation) for your keyboard name.


Sorry I can't help more,
Moshe

Really hoping someone has some idea on this... haven't found any solid 
answers on the web...

----------- original message -----------------

Hello,


I recently did a fresh install of 2005.0 on a AMD thunderbird-based machine. 
I wasn't in
the mood for kernel configuring, so I just let genkernel do it's thing, 
installing a 2.6

kernel.


Things mostly went fine, however my keyboard and/or mouse keep going 
berserk... they just
stop working half the time. I share the same keyboard with a windows machine, 
and it works

fine (I'm typing this email with it).

Last week, I noticed a lot of entries in the logs like this:


Aug 16 22:33:53 venus atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 
0xe0 on

isa0060/serio0).

Aug 16 22:33:53 venus atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e060 <keycode>' to make it 
known.
Aug 16 22:40:18 venus atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 
0x8e on

isa0060/serio0).

Aug 16 22:40:18 venus atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00e <keycode>' to make it 
known.



I found a thread on the forums where the poster went ahead and set the 
keycodes as
indicated... for all of them. So, last week, I took the log and cut and paste 
it together
to make a script that set all of them... at least until last night. It 
started printing
these lines again, and I lost the mouse and the keyboard. Restarted X and it 
was okay for
a few minutes, but then it freaked out again and then I couldn't type 
anything

at the command line even after killing X.

Oh, I also managed to find the mouse and keyboard boot info from my logs:

Aug  9 20:28:35 venus input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0

Aug  9 20:28:35 venus input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse on 
isa0060/serio1



So, if anyone has any ideas or can point me in any direction at all, that 
would be great.


Ben


PS: I also found the following stuff in my logs starting at the time when I 
lost control
of the keyboard and mouse; there's this MTRR stuff and then hundreds of lines 
with the

call trace stuff:
