Post subject:  LinHES 6.03 Install

I'm trying to install LinHES on a new computer and it works until the reboot and then my keyboard and mouse become dead and I can't access them. I'm installing LinHES 6.03. I've used several of the 5.X versions and 6.02 without any problems. If anyone could offer some advice I would greatly appreciate it.

USB keyboard and mouse? Sometimes they will come back to life if you unplug and replug them. Otherwise it's probably a problem with your xorg.conf, for that try logging in remotely and checking the /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if it is finding a valid keyboard device. Look for messages like this:
Code:
[root@black3 ~]# grep -i keyboard /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) |-->Input Device "Keyboard0"
(II) Initializing built-in extension XKEYBOARD
(**) Option "CoreKeyboard"
(**) Keyboard0: always reports core events

(**) Keyboard0: XkbModel: "pc105"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbLayout: "us"
(**) Keyboard0: CustomKeycodes disabled
(II) evaluating device (Keyboard0)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard0" (type: KEYBOARD)

tell us more about your rig? what kind of keyboard and mouse?

My system is a non MCE Hauppauge 150 with IR blaster dog bone, Intel 4 at 3 GHz, 2 GB, 120 GB HD, Radeon HD 4550. The keyboard is a generic inland USB keyboard and the mouse is a usb logitech. They are both ran through a KVM. I've removed the KVM and it doesn't make a difference. I can SSH into the box as well as switch to a different console locally. Any help would be appreciated.

Code:
grep -i keyboard /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) |-->Input Device "Keyboard0"
(WW) Disabling Keyboard0
(II) Initializing built-in extension XKEYBOARD
grep -i mouse /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) |-->Input Device "Mouse0"
(WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd' or 'mouse' will be disabled.
(WW) Disabling Mouse0
(==) RADEONHD(0): Silken mouse enabled

I had trouble installing 6.03 I installed 6.02 and upgraded up.

If you can switch consoles then your keyboard is working as far as the OS is concerned, so it's got to be an X configuration problem.

Those (WW) warning lines where it's disabling the keyboard and mouse are your smoking gun. Post your X config and we can try to debug it.

Try changing the "kbd" driver to "keyboard".

Is that xorg.conf one that was restored from a previous version? It looks a little out of date overall (e.g. mine no longer has anything in the "Files" section and the "Module" section is also sparser.) but that is an issue that can be dealt with later...

Post subject: 

I've been away for a few days I've tried changing the driver to "keyboard" and it didn't work. When I installed I installed from a install CD over an old version of Ubuntu.

Post subject: 

You did restart the X server after making the change right?

Does it still give that error about disabling the keyboard in the logs?

Author:  wildenj [ Mon Jul 25, 2011 8:17 pm ]
Post subject: 

I rebooted the machine after I made the change. The logs showed no difference:
Code:
grep -i keyboard /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) |-->Input Device "Keyboard0"
(WW) Disabling Keyboard0
(II) Initializing built-in extension XKEYBOARD
grep -i mouse /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) |-->Input Device "Mouse0"
(WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd' or 'mouse' will be disabled.
(WW) Disabling Mouse0
(==) RADEONHD(0): Silken mouse enabled


I also modified my xorg.conf to include:
Code:
Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "keyboard"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"


and that didn't work either. It doesn't work going through the KVM or PC, but I noticed when it's plugged into the PC every time I hit a key a few seconds later numlock, scrolllock, and capslock all light up at the same time.

What is that funky character in your xorg.conf name?

Googling a couple of the error messages came up with this suggestion, try adding it to you xorg.conf file.
Code:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
EndSection

There are suggestions that the problem ultimately track back to a HAL issue, but no solution along those lines

There is no funky character in the xorg.conf name. It just pasted funny. Your suggestion worked! Thanks! Prior to that I narrowed it down to the graphics card. If I have it out when I boot up then I don't have a problem. If I booted with nothing plugged into it and connected the monitor afterwards it worked fine.

The only two things I notice now are that the volume comes out almost muted and I cannot get video out of the S-video port. I suspect the sound problem may be related to ALSA or asound.conf needs tweaked. As for the S-video I'm thinking I may need to set an option in xorg.conf or change the driver to catalyst. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on the sound or video?
