Posted: Wed Apr 26, 2023 1:44 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Kernel 6.3.0 mouse & keyboard not working |
|
|
I have a USB mouse and keyboard. When I boot kernel 6.3.0 X boots normally but neither mouse nor keyboard function. When I boot the prior kernel, 6.2.12, both work normally.
Here is Xorg.log for kernel 6.2.12.
Here is Xorg.log for kernel 6.3.0.
Any debugging hints will be gratefully received.
[SOLVED] Many thanks to CaptainBlood (below) for so clearly pointing out the error I made in the .config for building kernel 6.3.0. [/SOLVED]

While building 6.3 from 6.2.xqueried for Code: | HID bus support (HID_SUPPORT) [Y/n/?] (NEW) | setting which doesn't exist in 6.2.x.
Setting to N caused USB keyboard & mouse being disregarded.
Setting to Y fixed the issue here.
Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support. _________________ USE="-* ..." in /etc/portage/make.conf here, i.e. a countermeasure to portage implicit braces, belt & diaper paradigm

had the same problem, this fixed it. Thanks!
(I kinda feel like the object description should have more urgent warnings about how not saying Y here will result in no mouse/keyboard. I'm sure I'm not the only desktop user who routinely says N to new features unless they look really important).
Also, another important note: for whatever reason, the specific kernel module for my trackball (which seems only to have been added to the kernel a year or two ago) wasn't enabled, but the 6.2.* and previous kernels nevertheless registered it. Now, with the 6.3 kernel, the extra Fn buttons on the mouse don't register unless I specifically enable the kernel module. I'm not sure why this turned out this way, but I was unable to use those buttons until I had the module activated. |
