 Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2008 3:55 pm Post subject: X starts with bad key definitions -- HALF SOLVED |
 |
|
My X server starts up with complaints about various keysyms and does not recognize common keys like the arrows. It appears to be normal in all other regards.
This began after a weekly upgrade cycle. I tried downgrading various packages, but it quickly escalated into wanting to downgrade too many other packages, so I brought everything back up to date.
This is a ~amd64 system, dual opterons.

Edit to add that this is half solved. Demerging xf86-input-evdev makes it work again, but I don't know what the "proper" fix is; should evdev work, is it the wave of the future, or is it some over-zealous maintainer who threw hald and evdev into the X pot without thinking it thru?

| It looks like it works on my NB because I don't have installed x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev package. |

Heh ... I tried that and X exits as soon as I hit any key.
Edit to add that I had forgotten to restore the non-evdev driver config to xorg.conf. See the followup post.

I concur that it appears to be the evdev driver that triggers this. I had mondo weirdo after first restarting X after upgrading that package. Afterwards, the mouse was limited to y-axis movement and arrow-keys as well as DEL, INS, etc. didn't work anymore.
Interestingly, I had "keyboard" and "mouse" in the relevant sections of my xorg.conf but it appears that having "evdev" in my INPUT_DEVICES overrides this. Removing it and xf86-input-evdev solved my problem, but it may be that reverting to an older version might suffice.

I saw the post right after mine saying that demerging xf86-input-evdev didn't work and realized I had forgotten to restore the original non-evdev configuration. Did that, demerged again, and now I am back to normal.
However, I am NOT going to mark this as solved until I understand what is going on here. Does anyone know what is the "proper" way of doing this? Why is hald now involved in X input -- is there some benefit to that, is it just someone got too fancy with hald capabilities and should not have involved X in it, what is going on?
I know darn well this is going to bite others, and it will bite me again too. No doubt some weekly upgrade will add xf86-input-evdev and I will not see it and wonder what the heck happened to X again. |

I also can't seem to figure it out. I dabbled with it for a while during testing to get my wacom to play nice, but apparently I don't understand what evdev's pertinent advantages are, when compared to the ease of setting up the alternatives "mouse" and "keyboard".
Did you maybe update dbus as well? Both dbus and hal are known to have been screwing stuff up for me every once in a while.
But maybe this is just another "Secret Man Was Never Meant To Know®".
