 Posted: Sat May 02, 2009 11:04 pm Post subject: xorg-server-1.5.3 input problems [RESOLVED] |
 |
|
My mouse and keyboard don't work. I built it with hal and am trying to use hal because that seems to be preferred. Here is my xorg.conf:
| Code: |
skrapasor@gentoo-desktop ~ $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "freetype"
# Load "xtt"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "dbe"
Load "record"
Load "xtrap"
Load "type1"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc101"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
HorizSync 31.5 - 48.5
VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
Card "** Intel i810 (generic) [i810]"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 8
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
|
and here is my hal input stuff:
| Code: |
skrapasor@gentoo-desktop ~ $ cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-xinput-configuration.fdi <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">kbd</merge>
</match>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">mouse</merge>
</match>
</deviceinfo>
|
Also, my colors look pretty crappy. I think it's because I selected 8-bit color. What do I need to change to make it better? I'm thinking my monitor can support 24-bit. Do I just need to change both 8s in my xorg.conf to 24?

What is your video card??
Run | Code: | | lspci | grep -i vga |
to identify.
In the meantime:
in /etc/make.conf
| Quote: | | INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" |
in kernel config file:
| Quote: | Device Drivers --->
Input device support --->
-*- Generic input layer (needed for keyboard, mouse, ...)
-*- Support for memoryless force-feedback devices
<*> Polled input device skeleton
*** Userland interfaces ***
-*- Mouse interface
[*] Provide legacy /dev/psaux device

< > Event debugging
*** Input Device Drivers ***
-*- Keyboards --->
[*] Mice --->
[ ] Joysticks/Gamepads --->
[ ] Tablets --->
[ ] Touchscreens --->
[ ] Miscellaneous devices --->

recompile and reinstall kernel if "<*> Event interface" had to be added
Run:
| Code: | emerge dbus hal
rc-update add dbus boot
rc-update add hald boot
rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak # you should not need xorg.conf |

Thanks for you response! My kernel already has that, I already have dbus and hal, and my input devices section was already like that. I have tried without an xorg.conf, and that doesn't work at all! Here is my (integrated) video card:
| Code: | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

Check your xorg log, but probably you should drop your fdi file
and check if xf86-input-evdev is really emerged.
xorg-server disables 'mouse' and 'kbd' drivers on linux,
if it can use hal. |

What are you saying? Yes, I have that package emerged. I don't see why I should remove my fdi though... ? My log should be helpful:
| Code: |

The new lines are misleading, the log has a crappy way of grouping the lines... |

the mouse part looks okay though:
| Code: |
(II) config/hal: Adding input device ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse
(II) LoadModule: "mouse"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//mouse_drv.so
(II) Module mouse: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.5.3, module version = 1.4.0
Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 2.1
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
(II) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: Setting mouse protocol to "PS/2"
(**) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/event3"
(==) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: Protocol: "Auto"
(**) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: always reports core events
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
(==) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50
(**) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: Buttons: 9
(**) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: Sensitivity: 1
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse" (type: MOUSE)
(II) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: Setting mouse protocol to "PS/2"
|
and even before all that it says:
| Code: |
(II) Cannot locate a core pointer device.
(II) Cannot locate a core keyboard device.
(II) The server relies on HAL to provide the list of input devices.
If no devices become available, reconfigure HAL or disable AllowEmptyInput.
|
but I think that just means I'm using hal instead of xorg.conf. And since my first post I have commented out the input options in xorg.conf, thinking that would let hal do its job. |

| for 24bit color you need to change both DefaultDepth and Depth vaules in Screen section to 24 and it will always use 24bit colors |

You said:
| Quote: | | I don't see why I should remove my fdi though... ? |
On my 2 working 1.5.3 xorg (under hal) setups; /etc/hal/fdi/information is empty, /etc/hal/fdi/policy is empty, /etc/hal/fdi/preprobe; are empty directories. Second the motion to kill yours.
In one case I have no xorg.conf.
In the other I have nvidia-xconfig generated xorg.conf. |

Hi, your /etc/X11/xorg.conf should be like this :
| Code: |
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "freetype"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "dbe"
Load "record"
Load "xtrap"
Load "type1"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
HorizSync 31.5 - 48.5
VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
EndSection

| The default is empty policy. Works that way for me. No further knowledge, have not tried to modify hal behavior. |

| Thanks! Yes now my input works, but if I change my color from 8 to 16 or 24, it just doesn't work. I get some random weird lines on my screen after I startx. I know my monitor can do better than 8, it used to. |
