Keyboard non-responsive in X after upgrade to most recent -current
I've been running -current for some time, and after hearing about the awesome X.org package updates released last week, I fired up my trusty friend slackpkg and did a nice, easy upgrade-all. I removed the obsolete packages listed in the changelog, and rebooted for good measure. I was surprised my xorg.conf hadn't been touched, but when I logged back in and fired up KDE, I found that my keyboard was completely unresponsive. Closing out of X (I couldn't get to other virtual consoles), my keyboard again worked. Only in X was it non-functioning.
I'm running an Inspiron 700m, using the i810 graphics chipset, and my xorg.conf reads as follows as far as keyboard: Code:
Section "InputDevice" Being without my laptop is irksome at best, as one can imagine. Can some helpful Slacker guru (or three) help me out? Edit: looking through /var/log/Xorg.0.log for warnings, I see the following: Code:
(WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled. Edit2: Added the Option "AllowEmptyInputs" "off" in my xorg.conf and it looks like I'm ready to go! |
Are there any errors in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file?
What does grep kbd /var/log/Xorg.0.log return? Oops, I see you've resolved the issue already. :) |
Posts by sahko on this thread helped me solve a similar issue. I was also missing xf86-input-evdev.
