Gentoo-Sources? (keyboard/mouse)

d0nk · n00b Joined: 05 Jun 2005 Posts: 8 Location: 127.0.0.1

My PC Is:
AMD 64 3200+ (winchester)
DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D
PDP Systems 512mb DDR400
MSI 6600GT

USB Logitech MX510
PS/2 Generic keyboard

-------

After I get gentoo mostly installed (when i can boot into the base), After 20mins to an hour, my keyboard will "stick" with numlock/capslock/scroll lock turned on (i can hit the key, to "disable" that action/effect, but the light stays on). Also, my mouse (usb) will either move insanly slow, or spaz out and go to random areas of the screen.

Both work fine for awhile, but then stop working in the way they should. The problem may or may not be X, as the problem with the mouse happens after being in X for awhile (or in and out of it repeatedly for awhile). The problems happen around the same time. It just isn't in X though, as the mouse is messed up on the console screen with GPM then.

Windows XP 64 and Ubuntu 5.04 AMD64 Live both do not have this problem. I have a feeling that it is a problem with the gentoo-sources kernel because of this. I plan on trying gentoo one more time with a vanilla kernel.

If anyone has had a similar problem, and has or has not solved it, please discuss this. I find this rather odd that it only happens with gentoo.

edit: added: The problem happened with both 2.6.11-gentoo-r2 and 2.6.11-gentoo-r7 (r3 wouldnt emerge, and r7 was latest after emerge --sync)

I got similar proplems with r9. But at the moment no idea how to solve them.

At my system it often hangs when I try download anything.

i have the problem with the usb keyboar i have a ps2 mouse...
i turned on debugging of usb on the kernel

and i get a message of nuking all the RBD's or something like that, sorry im not in linux right now
then the keyboar stops working. if i was pressing a key, that key keeps pressed until i unplug the keyboard
and plug it again.

searching around on the web for that error i get kernel bugs pages only.. so it might be gentoo sources
i was planning to use vanilla sources too... but i havent had time...

so post any of your progress

Ok, I have tried the 2.6.11.11 vanilla sources, and I still get the problem. This is starting to annoy me. I do, however, believe that I've found whats causing it.

dmesg gives several of these, at the same time my problem happens. If anyone gets this too, let me know, it would be a great help:

2.6.10 worked great last night, no problems, but i couldnt recompile it (add alsa support, since i forogt it), It wouldnt recompile. I am now using 2.6.12-rc6, and it SEEMS ok, but the problem can happen any time (record was after 4 hours, but i've had it in 20 mins before too). I'll let you know if 2.6.12-rc6 is "stable" as far as the keyboard issue goes.

I solved the problem by directly connecting my keyboard at the usb port.

(I have the problem ONLY if I connect the keyboard to a ps2/usb converter witch is connected to an KVM switch)

I dont' know if this can be a "solution" for another one.
