no usb keyboard or mouse
slackware current x64 KDE
the installation iso would not 'see' my usb keyboard so i used a PS/2 keyboard. after 'successful' installation, i am still unable to use usb keyboard or usb mouse. is there any way to fix this so i can use usb keyboard & mouse? |
I had this problem when I disabled "legacy USB support" in the BIOS. Reenabling it fixed it for me.

if you still having trouble, add "i8042.noaux" and/or "i8042.nokbd" in append of lilo.conf.
if you can use lsusb to check usb of your keyboard and/or mouse after connection, if you don't see any of them, check if you have /etc/modprobe.d/usb-controller.conf file. The default slackware configuration: Code:
# Make sure that ehci-hcd is always loaded before uhci-hci Code:
SUBSYSTEMS=="input", KERNEL=="input", ATTR{idVendor}=="xxxx", ATTR{idProduct}=="xxxx", DRIVER=="" |
thank you(s) for replies.
@dugan: all usb options are enabled in BIOS. kbd & mouse work on win7 partition on same computer. @number22: how do i "add "i8042.noaux" and/or "i8042.nokbd" in append of lilo.conf."? |
I'm guessing logitech... and yea, their unifying usb is not working in 3.10... right now it may be due to usb 3 sockets, etc... some folks have had success with moving the dongle to a usb 2 socket.
I put another possible solution here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...rs-4175472805/ It worked for me. |
FWIW - I just bought one of those yesterday, plugged it into my -current (3.10.5 kernel) on a Phenom II machine and it worked out of the box. Mine is a K400 keyboard w/touchpad - not a K400r.
Additionally, it peacefully coexists with a separate USB keyboard and Logitech mouse on another USB receiver. [EDIT] I see the above posts refer to USB 3, mine is USB 2.0, Nvidia MCP61. Still ope it is a helpful data point. [/EDIT] |
Thanks again for replies.
Yes...logitech keyboard & mouse. @ WW1776 : I began your solution, but I cannot access internet! . . and network works perfectly on w7 partition! |
If you can get to this site, on any pc...
https://git.lekensteyn.nl/ltunify there are dl links for tarballs of the system. it's only a few hundred k-bytes. I'm thinking throw it on a thumb drive maybe? |
i don't have the slightest idea what to do on that page. . . i think this is hopeless; maybe i'll wait a while until they fix these bugs. funny, all my other computers run slackware nicely; this motherboard (GA-990FXA-UD3) probably just doesn't like linux.

under Tag... looks for this:
v0.2 ltunify-0.2.tar.gz click on the tar.gz.... download it... run: Code:
tar -xvf ltunify-0.2.tar.gz this would replace the 'git' command. |
