Hi,
I've updated from 4.2 to 4.2.1 and also upgraded xorg-server to
| Code: | | [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.2 USE="dri hal ipv6 nptl xorg -3dfx -debug -dmx -kdrive -minimal -sdl -tslib" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse -acecad -aiptek -calcomp -citron -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -fpit -hyperpen -jamstudio -joystick -magellan -microtouch -mutouch -palmax -penmount -spaceorb -summa -synaptics -tek4957 -tslib -ur98 -vmmouse -void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev fglrx vesa -apm -ark -ast -chips -cirrus -cyrix -dummy -epson -geode -glint -i128 -i740 (-impact) -imstt -intel -mach64 -mga -neomagic (-newport) -nsc -nv -nvidia -r128 -radeon -radeonhd -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage -siliconmotion -sis -sisusb (-sunbw2) (-suncg14) (-suncg3) (-suncg6) (-sunffb) (-sunleo) (-suntcx) -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vermilion -vga -via -vmware -voodoo -xgi" 0 kB |
After getting keyboard and mouse to work I still have some problems left: some keys are not working right (like arrow down, End, all FN keys (MacbookPro and apple keyboard)
xev event for key down:
| Code: | KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x5b, subw 0x0, time 5994600, (-691,341), root:(193,366),
state 0x80, keycode 116 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 92
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: Fal
|
xev event for brightness up:
| Code: | KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x5b, subw 0x0, time 6016444, (110,863), root:(994,888),
state 0x0, keycode 233 (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
|
But they are not working inside KDE. I've set the keyboard layout to "evdev managed keyboard" (setxkbmap -model evdev -layout de -variant nodeadkeys)
My fdi:
cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi
| Code: | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">

If I'm not inside X the keyboard works fine! Any hints on how to get they missing keys back? |

I've the same problem. Did you check:
http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/X11_Keyboard/Xorg_7.3
They recommend to use:
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-keyboard.fdi
And put in
| Code: | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard">
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">de</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo> |

I don't have 'AT keyboards' under the input devices (kernel: gentoo-2.6.27-r but I did all the HAL stuff. I does recognize the keyboard and mouse. Just some keys are wrong/gone.
As far as I understood it doesn't matter what the fdi file is called. It will just go through all the files and use them. I have a german keyboard layout (äöü is working fine). Just some keys are "gone" (it seems they have wrong keycodes or are not mapped). Keydown is ISO_Level3_Shift, Delete is Alr_R, 'Brightness up' is the right keycode but not working inside X (if I switch to a console it works!). Do I manually have to remap all keys now? Or is there a way to get the proper keycodes back (like outside X). |

On my PC (Acer Aspire One) I managed to install compiz-fusion and it runs well. The only problem was the keyboard, where I had no reaction on the arrow keys, the delete key and probably others.
The language settings äöü worked always fine.
I had to update Xorg (Xorg-server-1.5.2, Xorg-x11-7.4) and therefore I got evdev as driver for the keyboard. Before that, the keyboard worked fine. Getting rid of evdev can not be the solution since evdev is the future. I have to learn now how to setup the keyboard, but this means finding some hints and good documentation.
I solved the issue finally. Using evdev I deleted more than I had to add:
In /etc/make.conf I have just
| Code: | | INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" |
This works for the keyboard and the external USB mouse (I will fix the touch pad later)
/etc/X11/xorg.conf has no keyboard definitions at all. Some people on the internet say, using evdev and HAL make /etc/X11/xorg.conf obsolete.
I use KDE where I disabled (Country/Region) keyboard layouts in the KDE Control center.
To get the Country/Region setting I added /etc/hal/fdi/policy/keyboard.fdi
| Code: | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard">
<match key="info.product" contains="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">ch</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo> |
A couple of re-boots and debug sessions helped probably as well. |

My keyboard stopped working in KDE 4.2.1 after update. Works fine in GDM and in KDE 4.1.
I updated to evdev (in make.conf added to INPUT_DEVICES="... evdev"), removed keyboard as well as mouse from xorg.conf. Mouse has been working fine all the time.
lshal | grep input gives the keyboard as event3 and event4
| Code: | udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_413c_2002_noserial_if1_logicaldev_input'
info.addons.singleton = {'hald-addon-input'} (string list)

info.category = 'input' (string)
info.subsystem = 'input' (string)

I have been trying to search in this forum as well as googling but in vain. Any advice? |

Ok, almost there too!
My fdi:
| Code: | <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">keyboard</merge>
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name" string="Linux">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">de</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string">nodeadkeys</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.options" type="strlist">altwin:swap_lalt_lwin</merge>
<append key="input.xkb.options" type="strlist">lv3:alt_switch</append>
</match>
</match>
|
Removed all xmodmap stuff and just used the KDE regional settings to remap keys.
| Code: | | setxkbmap -option -option altwin:ctrl_alt_win,lv3:switch |
Just the Brightness and Keyboard light is not passed to pommed. xev says its right:
| Code: | KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
root 0x8b, subw 0x0, time 13929947, (-560,198), root:(429,561),
state 0x0, keycode 232 (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False |
but the command isn't called. The volume keys are working though. |
