I've set up a LFS (Linux From Scratch) system with X Window - all the latest sources. To test X I'm using twm and xterm-316. Everything's working great with just one exception: the keyboard doesn't work at all. It does, of course, work with the linux console, and the mouse works both with the linux console and with X.
I'm using xf86-input-keyboard-1.8.0 and xf86-input-mouse-1.9.1 for input (no evdev). My problem is: Although I do have some experience I don't have any idea what the problem could be or how to even track down the issue and I am asking for help. Strange things is that the same keyboard works with an older PC (also LFS, but X v7.4 sources, i.e. xorg-server-1.6.3 and xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2). There is one noticeable difference in the log files between the two PCs - the repetitions of the options with the keyboard identifier and one vs. two "always reports core events" messages: old: (**) Option "CoreKeyboard" (**) IBM 1403: always reports core events (**) Option "Protocol" "standard" (**) IBM 1403: Protocol: standard (**) Option "AutoRepeat" "250 30" (**) Option "XkbRules" "base" (**) IBM 1403: XkbRules: "base" (**) Option "XkbModel" "pc102" (**) IBM 1403: XkbModel: "pc102" (**) Option "XkbLayout" "de" (**) IBM 1403: XkbLayout: "de" (**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off" (**) IBM 1403: CustomKeycodes disabled (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "IBM 1403" (type: KEYBOARD) new: (II) Using input driver 'kbd' for 'IBM 1403' (**) Option "CoreKeyboard" (**) IBM 1403: always reports core events (**) IBM 1403: always reports core events (**) Option "Protocol" "standard" (**) Option "XkbRules" "base" (**) Option "XkbModel" "pc102" (**) Option "XkbLayout" "de" (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "IBM 1403" (type: KEYBOARD, id 6) Ingo _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
