Sun mouse and keyboard unusable
Hi, I recently ran into a serious problem with Xorg on my Ultra 10: Keyboard and mouse input no longer works. The machine is still responsive, and I can SSH into it and kill the X server, so it's not completely frozen. Pressing Caps Lock or Num Lock has no effect, the keyboard LEDs don't light up. Pressing the right mouse button occasionally gets a click through, as I can see the LXDE desktop menu opening. I'm using a Sun Type 5 keybord (US layout) and an older non-optical Sun mouse conntected to the keyboard, but it's the same with USB keyboards and mice, even with the Sun keyboard detached. I'm not using any custom Xorg config files, only what's installed by default.

I think we've all seen plenty of this sort of thing over the years.
I'm afraid that it's very unlikely that I can spare time to trawl
through surviving machines trying to find one with the right kind of
hardware: the most likely machine went down with a Psycho failure years ago.
For the sake of anybody who does happen to have time, where are you
getting your .iso image and what if any mirror are you selecting during
installation?
I had no end of problems about 18 months ago trying to find a
SPARC/Linux later than Lenny which was even half-way reliable, and that
was a large part of our eventual decision to abandon the architecture.

I don't know if Debian makes the microcode available or if you have to get it yourself directly, but I am sure Debian provides the microcode loader. However, your problem indicates that you can't load type1, kbd, or mouse modules, all of which should be available. Check the log to see if you loaded any modules please (well, you must have loaded sunffb at least). All of those should be in whatever directory the xorg modules are in.

USB mouse and keyboard
I have a Tatung CompStation10 and a Sun U10 I added USB cards to. lspci and lsusb both recognize the cards. I have the ATI card in the U10 and have a PCX64 that I can add to the Tatung. I run a KVM and the U10 works fine for video as long as I have a i386 computer running with the keyboard and mouse plugged in. My problem is I need a keyboard and mouse plugged into each Sun. This can get confusing as I get the right information going to the wrong computer. It also eats a lot of desktop space. I have 2 more Sun computers I would like to get on line. If I get USB adapters for the mouse and keyboard, will I be able use them with the U10 and the KVM? Earl URL http://deserthowler.cjb.net Instant messenger: earlcoyote ICQ:64033496 Looking for a deal?

Re: Boot without Keyboard/mouse
Greetings, all, Just FYI, this works just fine on the E4500s as well. There are two serial ports, so you have to be sure to get port A, but other than that, works great. Full agreement with Bruce, doing the install via the serial port is actually not possible (MUST use a second virtual terminal to 'modprobe esp.o'), so I used the keyboard/mouse/monitor for the install, but they are not used under normal conditions.

This is usually the country or language type of the keyboard. Default: us for most platforms, but nec/jp for the Japanese PC-98 platforms. Option XkbVariant variants specifies the XKB keyboard variant components. These can be used to enhance the keyboard layout details. Default: not set.

Or is this present, don't know because of crappy docs. There seems to be something in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/sun but I simply do not know how to define those and it's documented nowhere!

I did an update of the Dutch keyboard layout not too long ago, and it took me quite long to get it right. If you need help on this, look for Denis Barbier. He's the kbd guy in the X strikeforce team and has good upstream access too. I think the first thing to do is check which keycodes are being sent by the Sun-specific keys (using showkey?). Then see what they should be mapped to in the old configs for 2.4. The values should still be the same. I think what's needed here is a new XkbModel (with all the language variants), but it could be less maintenance in the long run to specify the differences between the suntype and regular keyboards as an XkbVariant of the regular keyboards. I have no idea how to decide on this. Getting the Compose key working should be a relatively minor issue AFAIK. BTW, the same exercise should be done for the console keymaps... Hope this helps.

This change makes all keyboards look like normal PC keyboards. This means that if you currently have a different type of keyboard selected (e.g. a USB-MAC or Sun keyboard), you will very likely end up with a non-working keyboard after rebooting with the new 2.6 kernel. If you can SSH into the box from another system, you can resolve this issue by running dpkg-reconfigure console-data, choosing the option Select keymap from full list and selecting a pc keyboard. If your console keyboard is affected, you will probably also need to reconfigure your keyboard for the X Window System. You can do this either by running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 or by editing /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 directly. Don't forget to read the documentation referred to in Things to do before rebooting, Section 4.6. Note that if you are using a USB keyboard, this may be configured as either a normal PC keyboard or as a USB-MAC keyboard. In the first case you will not be affected by this issue.

The kernel I'm running now (USB kernel) has USB and full HID compiled-in and sun KB mouse as modules (not loaded). I also compiled the exact same kernel, but with Sun keyboard mouse compiled-in and all USB stuff as modules (Sun kernel). The whole time using the USB kernel, I had to have the Sun KB attached so that the machine wouldn't boot to a serial console, and to interact with the OpenFirmware prompt. I just tried booting with the Sun kernel after (using the USB kernel) running 'dpkg-reconfigure console-data' followed by 'dpkg-reconfigure console-common'. Using these two commands, I set the system keyboard map to sunkeymap, which is apparently correct for a Sun type 5 US keyboard. After rebooting, the system took no input from the USB keyboard and did take input from the Sun keyboard, as expected. However, what I didn't expect was this: the keys on the sun keyboard, even with the sunkeymap console mapping, generate exactly the same output as the keys on the USB keyboard when I run it with the Sun keyboard map. It's as though the Sun keyboard's firmware was reprogrammed to generate PC104 scan codes. No, I'm not on drugs. And the Sun keyboard works normally at the OpenFirmware prompt. Anyone have any clue what's causing this? Any idea how I can fix this? As a very slight aside, my keyboard actually has MODEL: TYPE 6 molded into the bottom, but it ran perfectly with the type 5 keymap before, and I've only ever read about type 6 keyboards in USB form.

Re: USB keyboard mouse on Sun Ultra 5 w/PCI USB card
After many attempts at trying to disable Sun KB mouse support in the Debian-supplied 2.4.27 source, nothing worked. First of all, with kernel 2.4.27, there are no options for Sun KB mouse support listed in xconfig. One has to manually edit .config to change these settings. Even after manually editing .config, I found that my settings were put back to monolithic support for the Sun KB mouse, presumably by the file (srcroot)/arch/sparc64/config.in which has some lines like define_boolean CONFIG_SUN_KEYBOARD=y etc. etc.. I changed these to define_tristate CONFIG_SUN_KEYBOARD=m etc. etc., and the compile failed exactly when looking for a routine called handle_keyboard_event or something similar. So apparently, the sparc64 port of the 2.4.27 kernel does NOT like to have Sun KB mouse support disabled. I then downloaded the 2.6.8 kernel source from Debian, and lo and behold! Sun KB mouse support are configurable from xconfig (kconfig). So I compiled up a lean, mean 2.6.8 kernel with Sun KB mouse support as modules. The compile went fine, but now I have a new problem, as explained in my new post, Cannot boot 2.6.8 kernel from ext3 root partition on Ultra5 (http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2004/12/msg00174.html) Disable support for the sun keyboard or build it as a module but don't load it. BTW, Is there a way I can add something to, e.g., modules.conf (or one of the manual tweak files since modules.conf is auto-generated) in order to tell the kernel, never load the Sun keyboard module, even if you find a Sun keyboard attached? Thanks again. -Dan
Re: USB keyboard mouse on Sun Ultra 5 w/PCI USB card
I have it connected to a 4-port USB KVM switch, and I bought and installed a Belkin F5U219 3-port (2 external, 1 internal) USB 2.0 PCI card so that I can use the USB keyboard mouse instead of the Sun keyboard and mouse, which I would really like to get off of my desk. For the life of me, I cannot get the sparc to accept input from either the USB keyboard (Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro) or the USB mouse (Kensington AFAIK there is no way to get a usb keyboard working as a console on any sun that did not ship with a usb keyboard. If you mean OpenBoot console then I agree - I don't think there is a way; I guess an OpenBoot upgrade might help but I think the PCI card would have to be 'OpenBoot aware' to some degree. If you mean Linux console then it should be possible with the right kernel and set up. If you mean X then again, it should work.

Re: USB keyboard mouse on Sun Ultra 5 w/PCI USB card
Sorry, all, about the long pause before responding. I really would like to kick this problem. In the last few days, I have had a chance to look at things a bit more closely. One thing I should say is that I am a total newbie to Sun hardware and OpenBoot, so please keep this in mind. In response to Martin's message, before I sent the first message, I didn't really know where to start, so I didn't really DO that much, but I did a lot of poking around. I ran config-debian and reconfigured the X11 settings in an attempt to use a PC104 USB keyboard (PC104 rules) instead of the Sun (type 6) keyboard (sun rules). That did absolutely nothing. Also, I want to be able to use the USB keyboard in runlevel 3, which I intend to make the default once everything is running smoothly. I also poked around in OpenBoot, and I see three entries for the USB board itself, but no devices on the USB bus, so I am skeptical about the prospects of using OpenBoot to remap the keyboard and mouse aliases to the USB devices. I also poked around in the /dev directory (not /proc !), looking for something that looked like the USB KB mouse, so that maybe I could mention them in XFree86Config-4. Again, nothing useful. With the USB 2.0 CD-RW drive attached, I get Exhibit #1 below when I run 'cat /proc/bus/usb/devices'. I don't see anything resembling a keyboard or mouse. My kernel version is 2.4.27, compiled from kernel-source-2.4.27_2.4.27-5_all.deb. In response to Blars' message, I find the serial console concept intriguing. Could you point me to a website or two that explain how to set it up, the necessary cabling required (straight-through vs. crossover, DB9-DB9 or DB9-DB25, pinouts would be nice), the comm parameters (I think I saw this in OpenBoot), etc. etc In response to Jeremy's message, I re-compiled the kernel 3 times, again, from kernel-source-2.4.27_2.4.27-5_all.deb. The first time, I tried to compile it manually (make xconfig, make dep, make, make install, make modules_install), but that didn't work - I'm not sure how to go about creating the initrd image. The second and third times, I used the kernel-package package, and everything went great with the compile and the install. The first time, I set the (relevant) lines in .config (mostly using 'make xconfig', some I had to do manually) as shown in Exhibit #2. That didn't work. The second time, I used the .config parameters shown in Exhibit #3 below. That didn't work either. I just noticed, in the USB HID section that I didn't have CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV set, but I gather from the explanation of it in xconfig (something about raw devices that aren't true HID devices) that it's probably not necessary. If I'm wrong, please let me know. In all future compiles, I will have this flag set to Y. I also noticed, upon looking at .config in the root source directory after running make-kpkg, that several parameters were automatically set, as if they are not optional or are required by some other flag that I still have set. The parameters that were flipped are shown in Exhibit #4 below. You might notice that those were the key options that I was TRYING to nix. After noticing this, I looked in the top-level Makefile and Rules.make for anything which would say that those flags are mandatory. No such luck. Is there something else I need to do to override these flags? Maybe I need to nix CONFIG_SUN_CONSOLE, CONFIG_SUN_AUXIO, and CONFIG_SUN_IO as well? Or maybe just CONFIG_SUN_CONSOLE as it seems to me now? If flag interdependency isn't the issue, where else should I look in order to override this rather draconian behavior of auto-setting these flags?

Re: Various unstable brokenness - X keyboard
There are some weird problems with using the VT change keys in X for some reason. A few issues to consider: 1) 2.4.x kernel vs. 2.6.x kernel: The 2.6.x kernel does input layer conversion, wherein the SPARC proprietary scan codes and mouse protocols are converted to i386 PC, and IMPS/2 on /dev/input/mice (not sunmouse), respectively. 2) If you look at http://bugs.debian.org/236086/ you will see I wrote a patch for the Sun keyboard symbol file used by 2.4.x kernels. The 2.6.x kernels use the i386 symbol file, and therefore should work properly. 3) If the 236086 fix is what has broken the xkb symbols as everybody suspects, then one of you users with the problem needs to reopen the bug, and explain what kind of hardware, kernel, and keyboard configuration you have on your system. 4) Try upgrading to 2.6.x if it will work on your system. I have had problems with SMP on an Ultra Enterprise 2, but other than that I do not know of any major reason not to do this or obstacles. I would appreciate it if other people could enumerate possible obstacles of which I am unaware. That is all that comes to mind for this problem right now.

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices Also, you might want to use a 2.6 kernel. I don't know about debian's kernels, but a well patched 2.6.8 (gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r12) does the job great on my ultra10 because all the remaining issues (that I know of) are SCSI and SMP related... I seem to recall the reason I started using 2.6 was keyboard related (and I use a USB keyboard)...

Well you know wrong then ;). I have a u10 with an add-in USB PCI card, and I use my USB keyboard on it without a hitch... the problem I've noticed is that you can't use both. Enable support for hid and usbkbd built as modules (Yes, BOTH). If the mouse doesn't work, you are probably affected by this bug and will need both (workaround for the problem is detailed on the bug report): http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1459 Disable support for the sun keyboard or build it as a module but don't load it. You will not be able to interact with OpenBootPROM with the USB keyboard, so make sure you keep the sun keyboard connected for that. -- Jeremy Huddleston [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
USB keyboard mouse on Sun Ultra 5 w/PCI USB card
I recently inherited a Sun Ultra 5 from my company which I would like to use as a LAMP server. I downloaded the 13-CD sarge testing distribution (official snapshot 11/07/04) and got the system up and running normally with the Sun keyboard and mouse. I have it connected to a 4-port USB KVM switch, and I bought and installed a Belkin F5U219 3-port (2 external, 1 internal) USB 2.0 PCI card so that I can use the USB keyboard mouse instead of the Sun keyboard and mouse, which I would really like to get off of my desk. For the life of me, I cannot get the sparc to accept input from either the USB keyboard (Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro) or the USB mouse (Kensington Expert Mouse Pro). When I plug in an external USB 2.0 CD-RW drive and type cdrecord --scanbus the CD-RW drive shows up just fine. Thus the USB subsystem appears to be functioning in general. On bootup, I also get plenty of messages indicating that the kernel found a USB keyboard and mouse. Under the double lines below is an excerpt from 'dmesg' that looks relevant to me. Does anyone out there know how to get a Sun Ultra 5 to accept input from a PC104 USB keyboard and a USB mouse?

Re: USB keyboard mouse on Sun Ultra 5 w/PCI USB card
For the life of me, I cannot get the sparc to accept input from either the USB keyboard (Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro) or the USB mouse (Kensington Expert Mouse Pro). What programs have you tried? What results did you get? the CD-RW drive shows up just fine. Thus the USB subsystem appears to be functioning in general. On bootup, I also get plenty of messages indicating that the kernel found a USB keyboard and mouse. Under the double lines below is an excerpt from 'dmesg' that looks relevant to me. Does anyone out there know how to get a Sun Ultra 5 to accept input from a PC104 USB keyboard and a USB mouse? Any hints would be greatly appreciated. The above info and the output of /proc/bus/usb/devices (or wherever you mount usbdevfs) and kernel / tool version numbers would probably be useful for anyone trying to help.

Re: Ultra10, keyboard with 2.6.9
On Wed, Nov 03, 2004 at 05:27:19PM -0800, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok you need to run dpkg-reconfigure console-data and select the option to use the kernel's keymap, or your keyboard won't work right in 2.6. The reason is, 2.6 converts scancodes to be PC, and 2.4 uses the raw SPARC scancodes. Therefore if you use the kernel's own keymap, it will work OK. OK, keyboard is working now. For the pointer, use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to select /dev/sunmouse as pointer device with protocol BusMouse, usually no scroll events, and no 3-button emulation. If I use these settings, X fails to start. If I choose /dev/psaux X will start, i.e. I can login, using keyboard, but no mouse. After typing username/password system starts login but halfway through, it stops. Maybe I'm not patient enough, but with the 2.4 I would have seen the desktop already. This works for my Ultra 10. Let me know if it screws up and I will try to help some more. If your kernel config is problematic, here is some help for you: http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/configs/kernel/2.6.x/ Thanks, I will check that with mine, as this is my first manual kernel for a sparc. Could be I miss a relevant option (probably something to do with mouse and/or its interface ;-) ) Erik

Changed a bit on kernel and now I've got the mouse working as well (/dev/psaux and PS/2). But the login still halts. Normally all these icons appear in the dialog box that indicate things are loaded (beats me what, I never pay attention to that). Gnome fails to do so, but I cannot see what is going wrong. Anyone any ideas or leads? It has something to do with switching to the 2.6 kernel, because with the 2.4 everything worked just fine. Thanks. Erik
Ultra10, keyboard with 2.6.9
When I try to boot my Ultra10 with a 2.6.9 kernel everything is fine until the end. When X is starting it fails, because there's no core pointer. But not just core pointer is missing, I cannot use my keyboard (SUN Type 6). Even Stop-A is not working. With a 2.4.27 (deb-package) everything is working great, so there is something wrong with my 2.6 config (manually). What do I need to enable to get my keyboard and mouse working with a 2.6? Any pointers are welcome. Thanks. Erik
