For USB Hostmode to work with power from the internal battery no hardware modification nor usb-hub is needed. I found the problem why my usb keyboard doesn't work within X. I still use 2007.2 with the newest daily builds but it seems that the xserver-kdrive-glamo module is too old. There was a bug

Hi, i tried to use my logitech usb keyboard with the freerunner with no luck so far. I'm using 2007.2 with the latest uBoot Image and latest kernel/system updates. First i switched to usb hostmode and supplied the 5V to the usb port with the following commands. echo host

Hi, that was me on the planet who used the usb keyboard for various things on the Freerunner ( [1] [2] ) I'm afraid I can't really give you much help as mine just worked. Once power was applied it functioned like a usb keyboard on a desktop pc. How are you managing to connect your devices to

I wonder if the FreeRunner is simply not supplying enough power for the keyboard? There's probably a way of finding out, but I don't know it off the top of my head. A three headed cable might fix your problems (as described on the wiki), but you're right in saying that the best test might be to

I think the power supply isn't the problem because the mouse part works. I could also press the function key (a special led indicates the success) which sets the function keys to F1 - F12 and not to special logitech functions. On the back of the keyboard the specification says that it only needs

Now i tested it with an usb hub but the behaviour is the same. In the log it shows that it found the hub and after attaching the keyboard it found both hid devices (keyboard and mouse). But again only the mouse part works and the keyboard does nothing. The log doesn't show any relevant difference

I think i found the problem why the keyboard isn't working. I went to a friend and after a few tests with his usb keyboard we found out, that the keyboard works, but only within the console and not in the X environment. After a short search i found a ticket which exactly describes my problem:
