 Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2009 7:19 pm Post subject: [Solved] X no keyboard or mouse |
 |
|
Ok, this shouldn't be this hard but I cannot get my Keyboard or Synaptics Touchpad to work with X! Using X11 7.4, Server 1.5.3-r1, xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.2, xkeyboard-config 1.4, and xf86-input-synaptics 0.99.3-r1. This is on an HP dv5020 laptop, x86.
Here's the parts from my xorg.conf.
| Code: | Section "ServerLayout"
...
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Synaptics" "AlwaysCore"
...
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "event"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
EndSection |

look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
if you grepping there "set empty input" then add to your xorg.conf in section serverflags:
| Code: | | Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false" |
I steped on this rake yesterday |

Please, don't give advices on things you don't understand, cause that's not a solution,
just a paper bag. |

OK, that was your fdi file. Now, what do the hal settings look like
(to make sure that file is correctly applied) ? |

Hal settings? I thought everything was in the fdi. where do I find the settings at?
However I have more info. After I startx and then kill it, I see
| Code: | dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//synaptics_drv.so: undefined symbol: miPointerGetMotionEvents
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//synaptics_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load modules "synaptics" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) No input driver matching `synaptics'
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed |
Notice the two // slashes in the path. Wtf? |

Those slashes don't matter, as the message means it's found anyway,
but 'undefined symbol' is more serious - that the reason it fails to load.
Try recompiling the driver.
And fdi file is what you want it to be, what hal-device prints for that specific
device is it actually is (in case you made a typo or something). |

| Ok you were right. Reinstalled the synaptics package and we're all set. Thanks for the help, I'll mark as solved. |
