 Posted: Mon Jul 13, 2009 1:18 pm Post subject: hal/evdev not recognizing mouse and keyboard [solved] |
 |
|
After upgrading X and ati drivers my Logitech keyboard and mouse stopped working. It's an older wireless diNovo using a base conncected via USB. One base is used for both keyboard and mouse.
I've been looking all over for guides how to configure/debug this, but I've not found very much useful informatin.
Here is dump form lshal -m when removing and inserting the base.
| Code: |
# lshal -m

Atle,
Did you find the xorg-server-1.5-upgrade-guide?
You must use evdev in your kernel and x11-input-evdev for Xorg and hald must be running.

Thanks for the link NeddySeagoon. No, I hadn't seen it, but unfortunately it doesn't help me much.
I know hald is running, and I'm pretty sure evdev is in place too. I'm using genkernel, and my other keyboard works. Also:
| Code: |
# grep -i evdev /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y
|
I've been looking more at the hal command line tools, and the problem seems to be that hal is not recognizing the capabilities of the mouse and keyboard.
This is information for my working keyboard
| Code: |
# lshal -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_d62_1c_noserial_if1_logicaldev_input
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_d62_1c_noserial_if1_logicaldev_input'
info.addons.singleton = {'hald-addon-input'} (string list)
info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.keys', 'button'} (string list)
info.category = 'input' (string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_d62_1c_noserial_if1' (string)
info.product = 'Darfon USB Combo Keyboard' (string)
info.subsystem = 'input' (string)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_d62_1c_noserial_if1_logicaldev_input' (string)
input.device = '/dev/input/event5' (string)
input.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_d62_1c_noserial_if1' (string)
input.product = 'Darfon USB Combo Keyboard' (string)
input.x11_driver = 'evdev' (string)
input.xkb.layout = 'us' (string)
input.xkb.model = 'evdev' (string)
input.xkb.rules = 'base' (string)
input.xkb.variant = '' (string)
linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event5' (string)
linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int)
linux.subsystem = 'input' (string)
linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/input/input12/event5' (string)
|
And the following is information about the different "entries" the non-working diNovo mouse/keyboard. Notice how there is no info.capabilities in any of those entries. So the problem seems to be that HAL is not recognizing the capabilities of the receiver.
| Code: |
# lshal -u usb_device_451_2036_noserial && lshal -u usb_device_451_2036_noserial_if0 && lshal -u usb_device_46d_c704_0D9B28 && lshal -u usb_device_46d_c704_0D9B28_if0 && lshal -u usb_device_46d_c704_0D9B28_if1

I've looked at all the links and examples in the upgrade guide, but every example starts with something like <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse"> or tries to match on input.keys.
The question is then, WHEN/HOW does hal recognize a devices capabilities? |

I tried the device using a knoppix live distro on a different machine. It recognized the capabilities of the device, adding two more entries called
usb_device_46d_c704_0D9B28_if0_logicaldev_input
usb_device_46d_c704_0D9B28_if1_logicaldev_input
Both machines are running hal 0.5.11. And I even borrowed the /usr/share/hal directory from that machine, restarting hald, but it didn't work.
Also I've tried another logitech wireless mouse with a usb receiver, and it has the same problem on my machine, but is working with the knoppix machine. |

I finally found the problem.
In the kernel I had to activate: Device Drivers -> HID Devices -> Special HID drivers -> Logitech (CONFIG_HID_LOGITECH=m)
This is obviously not done by default using genkernel.
It was
# cat /proc/bus/input/devices
and my device not showing up, that made me realize that this was not a hal problem, but a problem on a lower level, i.e the kernel. |

I think you should be able to create a custom fdi file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy using
info.udi as match criteria
evdev as driver
and then select your model from
| Code: | | less /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst |
something like this for the keyboard?
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<match key="info.udi" contains="usb_device_46d_c704_0D9B28_if0">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel" type="string">logidinovo</merge>
</match>
</deviceinfo>
|
Presumably you would only need to merge the evdev driver key for the mouse?
I do not know if this will work, but it is what I would try with my understanding of HAL |

<match key="info.udi" contains="usb_device_46d_c704_0D9B28_if0">
|
I'm not sure if this info will be static in the future.
Maybe you should try to match with something else. |
