[gentoo-user] [asking again] keyboard/mouse woes on 2.6 kernel

[Ben Munat]

Really hoping someone has some idea on this... haven't found any solid answers on the web...

----------- original message -----------------

Hello,

I recently did a fresh install of 2005.0 on a AMD thunderbird-based machine. I wasn't in
the mood for kernel configuring, so I just let genkernel do it's thing, installing a 2.6
kernel.

Things mostly went fine, however my keyboard and/or mouse keep going berserk... they just
stop working half the time. I share the same keyboard with a windows machine, and it works
fine (I'm typing this email with it).

Last week, I noticed a lot of entries in the logs like this:

Aug 16 22:33:53 venus atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xe0 on
isa0060/serio0).
Aug 16 22:33:53 venus atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e060 <keycode>' to make it known.
Aug 16 22:40:18 venus atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x8e on
isa0060/serio0).
Aug 16 22:40:18 venus atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00e <keycode>' to make it known.

I found a thread on the forums where the poster went ahead and set the keycodes as
indicated... for all of them. So, last week, I took the log and cut and paste it together
to make a script that set all of them... at least until last night. It started printing
these lines again, and I lost the mouse and the keyboard. Restarted X and it was okay for
a few minutes, but then it freaked out again and then I couldn't type anything
at the command line even after killing X.

Oh, I also managed to find the mouse and keyboard boot info from my logs:

Aug  9 20:28:35 venus input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
Aug  9 20:28:35 venus input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse on isa0060/serio1

So, if anyone has any ideas or can point me in any direction at all, that would be great.

Ben

PS: I also found the following stuff in my logs starting at the time when I lost control
of the keyboard and mouse; there's this MTRR stuff and then hundreds of lines with the
call trace stuff:

Well, I don't know what all that would mean.  What kernel sources are you 
using? Why not boot back into your LiveCD, mount and chroot into your gentoo 
partitions and re-compile your kernel manually instead of using Genkernel.  
Go through all of menuconfig on each menu, remove all the unneeded items that 
Genkernel enabled and save your changes then recompile your kernel and 
modules. If you need help, running "make" help shows a nice list of your 
options.

[gentoo-user] Re: [asking again] keyboard/mouse woes on 2.6 kernel

[Moshe Kaminsky]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 6879 bytes --]

Hi,

I don't really know what's going on. Just wanted to suggest some things:
1. I don't think it has anything to do with the 'Unknown key' messages. 
   This simply means that there are some funny keys on the keyboard that 
   the kernel doesn't recognize. You can check it with the showkey(1) 
   program (but under X)

2. Does it happen also when X is not running, or only under X?

3. Maybe you should try recompiling the kernel, and see if there are any 
   options specific to your keyboard (in menuconfig, you can search for 
   a string by pressing /). Maybe you should grep the kernel docs 
   (/usr/src/linux/Documentation) for your keyboard name.

Sorry I can't help more,
Moshe

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: [asking again] keyboard/mouse woes on 2.6 kernel

[Ben Munat]

Thanks for the thoughts guys... I probably will wind up compiling the kernel again from 
scratch since I haven't been able to make any headway with this issue. I thought I'd read 
somewhere that genkernel was working pretty smoothly and saved a lot of hassle, but I 
guess it isn't all it's cracked up to be.

As for your questions, the loss of keyboard and mouse occurs while I'm in X, however, I'm 
in X most of the time, so that doesn't necessarily mean that much. And after 
force-quitting X (there's something interesting... ctrl-alt-backspace still works!), I'm 
generally hosed on the command line too... sometimes I get the wrong characters for keys, 
sometimes I just get nothing and have to ssh in from another box and reboot.

I also did try showkey and I'm pretty sure I was getting weird random keycodes popping 
out... especially if I typed fast. My hunch is that it's actually something in the PS2 
driver and not anything in X or the keymap.

thanks again,

b

This is what happens when you press Alt+SysRq+T. I assume you didn't actually 
press these keys..?

I don't even know what the "SysRq" key is... certainly nothing I did intentionally.

I have an AMD64 system (but I am running the 32 bit version of Gentoo
on it) and I am seeing mouse problems. The mouse wheel doesn't work at
all. Sometimes the mouse pointer starts jumping all over the screen,
with random click events here and there. Then it recovers for a while
and then same cycle repeats again later. I am suspecting that this is
related to a bug in udev... I will try switching back to devfs to see
if that makes a difference.

Re: [gentoo-user] [asking again] keyboard/mouse woes on 2.6 kernel

[inferno]

Hi,

    I had that problem also ( mouse going crazy and keyboard was not 
responding ( my chipset was nForce 2 on the motherboard )) and there are 
to ways to fix it:( from my point of view).
    First try with the live cd and see if you still get the same 
problems and if not probably you have something done wrong you could try 
a genkernel and see if with the new kernel is doing the same thing and 
if not and you do not like the genkernel see what modules are enabled 
and try to build your kernel with manual.
    In xorg I have the mouse device : Option  "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
     Hope it helps since with my computer it worked with a new kernel 
emerged and manually configured.

Best regards

mouse support is built into kernel (now in 2.6.13-rc7), not module, xorg has 
correct entry
ill try live_cd, maybe find something interesting

I have reinstalled gentoo 2005.1 (network install with stage1). The
system is currently using devfs and my mouse problem is still there,
exactly the same way as before. So, my theory about udev being the
culprit is out the window.

I have tried booting from the livecd. I wasn't able to run X with this
configuration, but I tried issuing the "cat /dev/input/mice"
command. With the livecd, there is data coming back when I turn the
mouse wheel. When I boot into the gentoo that is installed on the
harddisk and do the same thing, no data comes back when I turn the
mouse wheel.

As a result, I am almost certain that this is related to the kernel
configuration. Continuing the search...

Are you using the Event interface? 
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=m
I get this problem occasionally, mostly with my mouse, when I use my KVM to 
switch to my docked linux laptop, and the solution is always to modprobe -r 
evdev && modprobe evdev. It rarely affects my keyboard, so I can usually do 
this. In the rare event of a keyboard problem, I can just ssh in to do it.

I haven't figured out precisely what the problem is, however I've definitely 
narrowed it down to the above configuration. If you are using EVDEV, it may 
be possible to configure your kernel/get a working system without it. If you 
aren't using EVDEV, give it a try. As a module, at least you can 
unload/reload it and save yourself a reboot until you figure out what's 
really going on.

RE: [gentoo-user] [asking again] keyboard/mouse woes on 2.6 kernel

[John Dangler]

I had that same problem with a stage 1 build on my laptop.  My laptop also
has 2 mouse inputs (glidepoint and the ibm button).  I noticed the same
behavior, and modprobing evdev did solve it – sort of. The random jumping
only showed up once in a great while and was only a minor annoyance at that
point.   The kernel at the time was 2.6.7 release.  I had a drive crash on
the laptop, and, when I got it back, decided to reinstall the 2005.1 using
stage 2/genkernel.  I haven’t noticed the problem yet on the new build (been
a week so far)…

I have reinstalled gentoo 2005.1 (network install with stage1). The
system is currently using devfs and my mouse problem is still there,
exactly the same way as before. So, my theory about udev being the 
culprit is out the window.

I have tried booting from the livecd. I wasn't able to run X with this
configuration, but I tried issuing the "cat /dev/input/mice"
command. With the livecd, there is data coming back when I turn the 
mouse wheel. When I boot into the gentoo that is installed on the
harddisk and do the same thing, no data comes back when I turn the
mouse wheel.

As a result, I am almost certain that this is related to the kernel 
configuration. Continuing the search...

No. I tried enabling support for it. I have also enabled support for
the Event interface debug. After booting this kernel, nothing
changed. The are no syslog debug messages when I turn the wheel, so
the kernel apparently doesn't "see" the wheel turning.

Hi,

    If it's any help: I'm using 2.6.12-gentoo-r4 kernel not a genkernel. 
Maybe the version of kernel on your computer is newer than the one on 
the live cd, try a downgrade and see if it help.

Best regards

I found the problem. The USB controller on the K8N Neo2 motherboard
that I am using is OHCI. I had compiled support for UHCI and EHCI and
left out OHCI. After adding support for OHCI, my wheel is now working
fine and I didn't see any erratic mouse behaviour so far...
