I'm having trouble getting my USB mouse and keyboard working under Linux. I've got a Mitsubishi monitor that has a USB hub built into it, with two upstream and three downstream ports. So I plug my mouse and keyboard into my monitor, and if I switch between the dual monitor inputs, it also redirects all USB HUB traffic to the computer that's currently active (monitor/line wise).
Using the alternate (JE) usb-uhci driver in 2.4.9, both my mouse and keyboard worked just fine. Upon switching from one box to the other via the monitor, they'd activate within about 3 seconds. Mouse first, then keyboard about 1-2 seconds afterwards. There were a couple of occasions where I'd switch to Linux, and the devices would never activate, and I'd have to reboot. In any case, ever since 2.4.10, I've not been able to get my keyboard working properly anymore. When I switch between boxes now, my mouse comes up reliably, but my keyboard takes about 2 minutes to activate. This is a snippet from my logs, after I've booted up, switched out of Linux, and then back in again. This exact same behaviour also happens on boot up when the USB drivers are first initialized. I get a two minute delay before I can use my keyboard.

I've also tried using the HIDBP keyboard and mouse drivers as opposed to the full HID driver, and that works in terms of activating my mouse and keyboard almost immediately, but I then found that problems I'd had with < 2.4.7 kernels resurfaced: namely, that if I typed "~incoming" very quickly, I'd get "~inncoming" as it would repeat the 'n'. I've also tried disabling APIC support by recompiling with no Local/IO-APIC support, and booting with the 'noapic' option. The machine is an Athlon 1.2Ghz, Asus A7Pro (VIA chipset) with 640MB of RAM. Does anyone have any ideas? I'll turn on verbose USB debugging messages and see if that yields any more information. -- Adrian Chung (adrian at enfusion-group dot com) http://www.enfusion-group.com/~adrian GPG Fingerprint: C620 C8EA 86BA 79CC 384C E7BE A10C 353B 919D 1A17 [rogue.enfusion-group.com] 3:55pm up 105 days, 7:58, 4 users _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
