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

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
http://www.arnold.se/Xorg.0.log.old

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

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?

        /Chris
