Christopher, I have tested the latest mainline kernel 4.0-rc7 which includes the usb hid drivers. Using KMS, the boot process stalls somewhere between enabling the radeon KMS and loading the usb drivers (according to the boot messages), and thus I can neither decrypt my root nor login. With KMS disabled the boot proceeds and I can in fact login. Of course without KMS and with no UMS in the radeon driver the system is now using software rendering and is consequently extremely sluggish.
Thus, while technically the keyboard is working and the video is no longer scrambled, there is no hardware acceleration with the radeon driver, and so I am tagging this as bug-exists. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440446 Title: Keyboard does not respond/scrambled video Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Release: 14.04 Kernel 3.13.0-48-generic I expected to be apple to boot to the password prompt for my encrypted root (and beyond) with correct graphics. Instead I found that my keyboard was not recognised after grub, so I am not able to decrypt my root or login More detailed explanation: I have Ubuntu installed on my 17'' core-duo intel imac, with an encrypted root partition. Version 12.04 with kernel 3.5.0-17-generic worked ok, but I updated to the LTS version 14.04. The system now freezes before asking for my encryption password when booting (I am using EFI with grub2) with my old kernel (3.5.0-17-generic) and with no args on the kernel command line. If I put nomodeset the boot progresses to the encryption password and I can successfully login, however the video is completely scrambled (I literally cannot make out anything). Having tried many ways to fix the video, I tried the latest kernel (3.13.0-48-generic). In this case the boot gets to the password and the graphics appear to be ok, but the keyboard/mouse do not respond. Again I tried many fixes, unsuccesfully. I installed the extras so as to have usbhid, mac_hid etc, and found that the behaviour now reverted precisely to that outlined above for 3.5.0-17-generic; that is scrambled graphics but successful login (with nomodeset), and freezing before reaching the password prompt (without nomodeset). I tried manually adding only the hid modules to my initrd.img-3.13.0-48-generic built prior to install of extra, but found graphics again ok but still no keyboard ! This report was made via a ssh session after booting with the scrambled video.
