PostPosted: Wed May 01, 2002 3:08 pm    Post subject: USB Keyboard Problem Reply with quote

I have a USB keyboard and mouse. I have set these up in Slackware many times, however gentoo does not recognize the keyboard. My mouse is plugged into a USB hub attached to my keyboard, and the mouse works. My keyboard is plugged directly to a USB port on my MB. I have USB in the kernel and most things set up as modules.

Code:

cecilia root # lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Tainted: P 
NVdriver              945728  10
joydev                  6752   0  (unused)
evdev                   4096   0
mousedev                3776   1
keybdev                 1664   0  (unused)
hid                    12544   0  (unused)
usb-uhci               20996   0  (unused)
parport                12864   0  (unused)
8139too                13728   1
mii                     1088   0  [8139too]


To make things worse, if I rmmod hid and/or usb-uhci and then insmod it back, my keyboard may--with the blessings of a small idol and correct moon/sun positions, that is: randomly--begin working. I'm truely stumped on this one.

Hey i was having a similar problem with my USB keyboard as well but i finally got it to work. Make sure you have the USB filesystem support compiled in too. I had just about every other thing compiled into my kernel but it still didn't work. I finally chose to install the FS support and then the HID support and Keyboard support as modules. After installing the new kernel my keyboard worked. Finally i have a real keyboard to use again. Yay!!! Well I hope this will work for you too. Later/
