USB Keyboard drives me crazy

2004-12-13 Thread Oliver Derks

Hi thereModule  Size  Used byNot tainted

...Im owning a good old Sparc 10 Ultra Workstation, and after a few 
month catching dust I decided to use it as an Workstation.

Not knowing in what I got myself into.

I only wanted this stupid Logitech USB Keyboard to work, so I put in an 
USB 1.1 add-on card

here is the output of lspci

and loaded the following kernel modules:

sg 27568   0  (unused)
scsi_mod   99000   1  [sg]
rtc 2084   0  (autoclean)

dmesg says:
input: USB HID v10.01 Keyboard [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb4:2.0
input: USB HID v10.01 Device [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb4:2.1

doing an cat /dev/input/event1
shows that the keyboard is obviously working BUT not on the console and 
NOT in X


here is my xfree driver section:Section InputDevice
   Identifier  Generic Keyboard
   Driver  keyboard
#   Option  CoreKeyboard
   Option  XkbRules  sun
   Option  XkbModel  type4
   Option  XkbLayout de
EndSection

Section InputDevice
   Identifier  Keyboard
   Driver  kbd
   Option  CoreKeyboard
   Option  Device/dev/input/event1
   Option  XkbRules  pc105
   #Option  XkbModel  type5
   Option  XkbLayout de
EndSection

The worst thing is, that not even the sun keyboard is working properly 
in X type 5 has an hillarious layout (try to login as oli without an l 
on the keyboard;( and type 4 (which is mine) is not working at all...


im using:
Linux pegasus 2.4.25 #4 SMP Sun Jul 4 18:45:51 CEST 2004 sparc64 GNU/Linux
which I made myself

as Im typing Im compiling an 2.6.8er kernel. hope that changes 
something


I also tried using usbkbd but this is also no go
can anyone help, or has similar experiences?

any help appreciated

greetings
oli

Unrelated, but why do people use SMP kernes on uniprocessor machines 
these days?


It's not the first time I see that in a short time.

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)...
