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
    InputDevice    "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard1" "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?

Hi,

i'm currently debugging why my keyboard is not working in gnome, so i thought i might throw out a quick question here if someone else have run into 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?
