 |
|
There are a lot of Logitech Wireless Duo MX700 threads around, but this one has nothing to do with the fancy buttons or the mouse. I'm having a much more basic problem.
Basically, within X, in any application (xterm, eterm, firefox, etc) , while I 'm typing, random spaces will appear. Even when I hit backspace a space will occur sometimes. And if I watch /var/log/messages while I type, the following entries are logged every time this random space happens:
| Code: |
Jan 9 23:47:16 jerec atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xe1 on isa0060/serio0).
Jan 9 23:47:16 jerec atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e061 <keycode>' to make it known.
Jan 9 23:47:16 jerec atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x65 on isa0060/serio0).
Jan 9 23:47:16 jerec atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes 65 <keycode>' to make it known.
Jan 9 23:47:16 jerec atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x0 on isa0060/serio0).
Jan 9 23:47:16 jerec atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes 00 <keycode>' to make it known.

Ever y time this space happens, the messages above appear in the message log. Here is my keyboard config from / etc/xorg.conf:
| Code: |
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
.
.
.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option " XkbRules" "xorg"*
Option "XkbModel" "logicordless"*
Option "XkbLayout" "en"*
EndSection
|
*Note: the lines marked with an asterisk have been added during the course of my troubleshooting. I was experiencing this problem even with all of those lines removed.
Another thing I noticed is that I cannot switch to the virtual consoles while X is running. X won't recognize the keys. Similar messags are logged . Its clear that I've gotten something configured wrong, because I know there are people running this wireless keyboard/mouse combo. I shouldn't have to setkeycodes f or every key on this bloody keyboard, should I? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Wow. I got totally buried in under half a day with very few views. Bump, and if this is the wrong forum for this thread, please move me.

After some testing, it seems that this problem might be related to my KVM switch (I had to forgot to mention I was using this with my new wireless keyboard/mouse. I've used it for so long I just don't even really think about it anymore).
Anyone doing anything similar and found a workaround?

Better late than never I guess. I have the Logitech duo and used a Belkin KVM switch for a while between my linux box and W2k box (now also running linux). Everything worked fine until the first time I switched computers. Cheap KVM switches sometimes have trouble with those extra signals (over 256?).
In short throw away the cheap KVM switch and buy an expensive one or like me upgrade your Windows box to Gentoo

Same Problem here... I tracked down the Problem and figured out that the ps2 mouse driver detects the wrong type of mouse , if a MX mouse is connected through a KVM switch. A solution that works ( at least for me  is a patched version of psmouse.c . I added a module option to force using the correct mouse mode.... |
