Some X problems(keyboard related)
Hello
Some times ago its appeared I have a couple of problems related X 1. Only, and only KDE reacts on magic keystroke Alt+Ctrl+Backspace. Neither xfce, fluxbox, blackbox, wmaker, fvwm2 or twm reacts. I'm personally using xfce and sometimes fluxbox, and never kde. Other my desktop PC with the same Slackware have not such problems. 2. Only, and only root user can use keyboard in X. Other users can use mouse only. Even Alt+Ctrl+Backspace unusable. And I cannot understand what wrong. I'm quite newbie in configuring X-related stuff, and cannot remember what I could do to cause such behaviour. Shall be thankful for any help. PS: Slackware 13.1, no patches was applied. |
1. setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
2. are you using a custom xorg.conf? what keyboard do you have there? |

Section "InputDevice" Quote:
It always custom, because it was generated by xorgsetup. And I did not found any installed packages which provides own xorg.conf as out-of-box configuration. Keyboard model is Mitsumi KFK-EA4XT. |
1. Try to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf. For example move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old.
2. In /etc/profile.d/lang.sh comment: Code:
#export LANG=en_US Code:
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Code:
/usr/bin/X11/setxkbmap ru Maybe it'll help in your case. |

Try to generate xorg.conf with X -configure command -- it generates xorg.conf.new file in /root directory. |
w1k0, I do not have any problems with localisation or keyboard layout. My problem is with keyboard as input device itself.

The only one error when X probing fbdev is not keyboard related.
And I'm sure I did not touched any evdev-related file or stuff. Attachment 6681 |

Also, unless you have added an fdi file in /etc/hal, hal shouldn't set your layouts and options. This "Keyboard0" you have configured in xorg.conf, is it set in the "ServerLayout" section ? Is there a line InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" ? |
Something definitely wrong with my slackware installation!
I have new weird log message, when starting X as root(without any xorg.conf). Do not have it now, but it says that "AllowEmptyInput is true and so all input devices will be blocked". And they actually got blocked, until I set in xorg.conf AllowEmptyInput to false. What is this was? What stupid script creates those setting? And again, problem of keyboard absence for non-root users is still actual. |
From the Xorg.0.log that you posted:
