i am having a problem getting my USB keyboard (microsoft natural elite) to work with RedHat 8.0 (2.4.18-14 kernel, custom build).
the keyboard works fine during bootup and with GRUB, but as soon as Linux sets up the USB subsystem, the keyboard goes dead, and i need to use an attached PS/2 keyboard to do anything. other USB devices work fine (Wacom Graphire tablet, Yamaha CRW-70 CD-RW, Hauppauge radio/TV tuner). i think the problem is that the keyboard is being recognized as a "HID" device rather than an "Input" device, but i'm not sure how to make my system recognize it as an input device. here's the relevant output from /var/log/messages, showing the keyboard and Wacom tablet detection: Feb 23 16:37:05 dragon kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/2/2, assigned device number 5 Feb 23 16:37:05 dragon kernel: hiddev0: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [045e:000b] on usb2:5.0 <snip> Feb 23 16:37:05 dragon kernel: usb.c: registered new driver wacom Feb 23 16:37:05 dragon kernel: Reporting max 10206, 7422 Feb 23 16:37:05 dragon kernel: wacom.c: Setting tablet report for tablet data Feb 23 16:37:05 dragon kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 303 Feb 23 16:37:05 dragon kernel: input0: Wacom Graphire2 4x5 on usb2:4.0 Feb 23 16:37:05 dragon kernel: wacom.c: v1.30-j0.4.0 Vojtech Pavlik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Feb 23 16:37:05 dragon kernel: wacom.c: USB Wacom Graphire and Wacom Intuos tablet driver (MODIFIED-DEBUG) Feb 23 16:37:05 dragon kernel: wacom_events i'm pretty certain i have built my kernel with the correct USB settings...here they are: # USB support CONFIG_USB=m CONFIG_USB_HID=m CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=m CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=m # CONFIG_USB_KBD is not set # CONFIG_USB_MOUSE is not set CONFIG_USB_WACOM=m any tips would be much appreciated. cheers, aleem. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
