Re: Keyboard not working in gnome?

2009-05-15 Thread Christopher Arnold


Hi again,

some more input on this.

In Xorg.0.log i see:
(II) config/hal: Adding input device USB Receiver
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)
(II) config/hal: Adding input device AT Keyboard
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)
(The at part makes sense, i only have USB on this machine)

So i guess this is the problem and that a rebuild of gnome/X11 did not 
help. It seems fairly close to the issues with hald/xorg.conf that we saw 
the last time upgrading gnome.


What is actually the right config nowdays?

I have the following in xorg.conf:
Section ServerLayout
Identifier Simple Layout
Screen Screen 1 0 0
InputDeviceMouse1 CorePointer
InputDeviceKeyboard1 CoreKeyboard
Option AllowEmptyInput off
Option AutoAddDevices off
EndSection

And in /etc/rc.conf:
bus_enable=YES
hald_enable=YES

Or does anyone have any hints on why a keyboard (that i'm currently 
writing on...) don't work in X11/Gnome?

Any hints on debugging this?

Details:
Im running 7.1-STABLE.

It's a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse (connected with USB) that have 
been woriking for a couple of years. (Actually i'm writing on it now, but in 
a vty) Suddenly in the middle of a session everything hung, so i rebooted.


Now i managed to login (That is it works in gdm!) but when i open a xterm or 
any other program it does not work. (as in no keys work not even caps lock) 
The mouse works perfectly. And since the mouse works i can use the GUI to 
logout and back in gdm keyboard works again...


My first thought was that i might have rebuilt some port affecting this, so 
currently i'm rebuilding X11 and gnome.


Have anyone else run into this?
Any hints on what might be wrong?

Using the above, you shouldn't need the lines below.  Your devices need
to be statically configured in xorg.conf.  If you are using hald, then
remove both the AllowEmptyInput and AutoAddDevices lines above.  I

When i commment theese out i get neither keyboard or mouse.
Also i notice in the xorg logfile that my Keyboard1 gets ignored 
alltogether. That is if i would have got the keyboard to work i would have 
a us one instead of my swedish.



And in /etc/rc.conf:
bus_enable=YES
hald_enable=YES

If i comment these out then gdm dosn't even start since gdm requiers them 
i guess.


And yes this is a cutnpaste error...

Btw my config file and the logfiles are here:
http://www.arnold.se/xorg.conf
http://www.arnold.se/Xorg.0.log

I guess i am doing a simple mistake somwhere, just cant figure what...

With AllowEmptyInput and AutoAddDevices set to off and both dbus and 
hald enabled it now works... Why?


Well i tried and xterm as usual and it didn't work. Decided to check if 
another program accepted input to rule out an error in xterm. So i used 
preferences/keyboard instead. I didn't expect it to work so i just pressed 
a key and kept it down. Klick and then characters!


So in the end i managed to find out that slow keys somehow had become 
enabled in universal access preferences


Embarrasing...

But it is a bit strange that your suggestions did not work.
How come some people need the AllowEmptyInput and AutoAddDevices lines but 
not others?

Keyboard not working in gnome?

It's dead easy today with the new version of wine.

Hello,

In Google Chrome System requirements

the Download and install help article
(http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=95346qu

Does this mean that is hope we'll have a FreeBSD version?


If someone steps up and rolls and submits the port. You're welcome to
volunteer :-)


I'd be glad to, but I'm afraid I do not have the skills for that... :-(


Once it runs on Linux it shouldn't be too difficult to port it to FreeBSD.
However it doesn't run on Linux ATM according to what I've read.


Has anyone tried to install it using wine?  I tried but it just hung
after agreeing to the license.

I managed to get past slashdot's first redirect and Chrome started to 
render the page.


I have written down my experience and what was needed here:
