Hi folks.
Word of warning. I been upset before, I have even been mad before,
right now, I'm pissed. This is not normal for me but it is what it is.
I tried the new xorg with the hal flag turned on. Let's just say it was
a nightmare, AGAIN. I want my old way back to say it lightly. I put
-hal in package.use for xorg-server. I put my old xorg.conf file back
as well. I re-emerged the keyboard, mouse, video and evdev just in case
it mattered. I also re-emerged xorg-server. My problem you ask. The
nvidia drivers won't load. It defaults to the nv drivers. No splash
screen anymore. Also, my mouse wheel doesn't work anymore either. That
really set me off. I use my wheel as much as I use the left button.

All those have been re-emerged since disabling the hal with package.use.
What have I missed? Clues? Ideas?
I'm going to go paint my roof and vent some frustration.
Thanks.

Sorry, I should > have posted those before. :) It's hard to remember all the details when your roof is on fire... <grin> From that Xorg log, it does look like the NVidia binary driver is being loaded/used - what indicators are you seeing that tell you that the nv driver is being used? If it's just a missing NVidia splash screen, maybe the updated NVidia driver has it off by default? For the mouse - things do look fairly normal from the log - however, try the following (if you don't ahve the xinput command, it is provided by x11-apps/xinput): xinput list This should show you a list of your X input devices - you should see your mouse there. Mine reads: "Virtual core pointer" id=0 [XPointer] Num_buttons is 32 Num_axes is 2 Mode is Relative Motion_buffer is 256 Axis 0 : Min_value is -1 Max_value is -1 Resolution is 0 Axis 1 : Min_value is -1 Max_value is -1 Resolution is 0 "Virtual core keyboard" id=1 [XKeyboard] Num_keys is 248 Min_keycode is 8 Max_keycode is 255 "No brand 4 Port KVMSwicther" id=2 [XExtensionKeyboard] Type is KEYBOARD Num_keys is 248 Min_keycode is 8 Max_keycode is 255 "Logitech USB Optical Mouse" id=3 [XExtensionPointer] Type is MOUSE Num_buttons is 32 Num_axes is 2 Mode is Relative Motion_buffer is 256 Axis 0 : Min_value is -1 Max_value is -1 Resolution is 1 Axis 1 : Min_value is -1 Max_value is -1 Resolution is 1 "CHICONY HP Basic USB Keyboard" id=4 [XExtensionKeyboard] Type is KEYBOARD Num_keys is 248 Min_keycode is 8 Max_keycode is 255 Then, take the name of the mouse from the list - in my case "Logitech USB Optical Mouse", and run: xinput test <mouse-name> for myself it was xinput test "Logitech USB Optical Mouse" - with the quotes. The move the mouse a little, and run the scroll wheel a little - you should see something along the lines of: motion a[0]=2 a[1]=-4 motion a[0]=7 a[1]=-5 motion a[0]=2 a[1]=-11 motion a[0]=-4 a[1]=-11 motion a[0]=-9 a[1]=-10 motion a[0]=-7 a[1]=-13 motion a[0]=-6 a[1]=-13 motion a[0]=-6 a[1]=-11 motion a[0]=-5 a[1]=-8 motion a[0]=-4 a[1]=-9 motion a[1]=-6 motion a[0]=-1 a[1]=-2 motion a[0]=-1 a[1]=-1 motion a[0]=-1 a[1]=-1 motion a[0]=-1 motion a[0]=-2 a[1]=-1 motion a[0]=-4 motion a[0]=-5 motion a[0]=-7 a[1]=-1 motion a[0]=-9 motion a[0]=-9 motion a[0]=-14 motion a[0]=-14 motion a[0]=-13 motion a[0]=-11 a[1]=-2 motion a[0]=-11 motion a[0]=-4 motion a[0]=-2 motion a[0]=-1 motion a[0]=-1 motion a[0]=-1 button press 5 button release 5 button press 4 button release 4 button press 5 button release 5 button press 5 button release 5 IMPORTANT: Make a note of which scroll direction you do first, then second. In my case, I scrolled down first (button 5 press/release), then up (button 4 press/release) - if you get different button numbers for down/up scrolling, then we just need to adjust your ZAxisMapping setting in xorg.conf appropriately - use whatever button number you see when you scroll up as the first number in the setting, and then the down scroll button number as the second number. If things are still not working, post the output of all the above commands, and we'll take it from there.

I also notice that it takes longer to log out for some reason. It logs in like always, about 10 seconds or so, but when I log out, it takes 45 seconds or so. Maybe the splash screen is off by default. I dunno. I'm assuming you are using evdev and hal. I'm back to the old way. It's just easier for me to keep working, if I can get my wheel to work again.

Since xorg-server is compiled with the -hal USE flag, it shouldn't matter right? I dunno myself. I thought that disabled hal if it is compiled with it or something to that effect.

Maybe it'll help if I give you my setup, which does work. First the most dramatic difference is that I'm using ~amd64 and you're using x86, so there may be some fundamental version differences going on. Hardware-wise, I use a USB US-English keyboard, a plain USB mouse with no special features other than 2 buttons and a wheel. I use nvidia-drivers for graphics (GeForce 9600 GT). x11-base/xorg-x11 I'm using is version 7.4 and xorg-server version 1.6.2 with these USE flags enabled (and all others disabled): hal input_devices_evdev input_devices_joystick input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kdrive nptl sdl video_cards_nv video_cards_nvidia video_cards_vesa xorg I have sys-apps/hal version 0.5.12_rc1-r6 with USE="X acpi crypt kernel_linux" and I have it in the DEFAULT runlevel. I also have app-misc/hal-info version 20090414 which contains FDI scripts for HAL. In /etc/make.conf I have this: INPUT_DEVICES="joystick keyboard mouse evdev" My xorg.conf contains some stuff related to fonts, video driver and screens, but everything input-related is commented out. Also worth noting is the order of loading for different copies of xorg.conf in your system may take, as explained in "man xorg.conf". If you've got a stray config file somewhere, your changes might not even be taking effect because it could be reading a different file entirely. I'm using kernel 2.6.30-gentoo-r1, gcc 4.3.3-r2 and glibc-2.10.1. I am not using hardened. The profile I'm using is default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop In my linux kernel config for input devices I've got these set: # # Userland interfaces # CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024 CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768 CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV=m CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y # # Input Device Drivers # CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ALPS=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_LOGIPS2PP=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_LIFEBOOK=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT=y CONFIG_MOUSE_SERIAL=m CONFIG_INPUT_JOYSTICK=y CONFIG_JOYSTICK_ANALOG=m CONFIG_INPUT_MISC=y CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR=m in /etc/hal/fdi/policy I have these four files: 10-input-policy.fdi: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input"> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="button"> <match key="info.addons.singleton" contains_not="hald-addon-input"> <append key="info.addons.singleton" type="strlist">hald-addon-input</append> </match> </match> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys"> <match key="info.addons.singleton" contains_not="hald-addon-input"> <append key="info.addons.singleton" type="strlist">hald-addon-input</append> </match> <match key="info.capabilities" contains_not="button"> <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">button</append> </match> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> 10-keymap.fdi: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap"> <append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append> </match> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys"> <merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge> <!-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to keyboard otherwise). --> <merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">keyboard</merge> <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name" string="Linux"> <merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge> </match> <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us</merge> <merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" /> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> 10-ntfs3g.fdi (this one has nothing to do with X): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="volume.fstype" string="ntfs"> <merge key="volume.fstype" type="string">ntfs-3g</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> 10-x11-input.fdi: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <!-- FIXME: Support tablets too. --> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">mouse</merge> <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name" string="Linux"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxisMapping" type="string">4 5 6 7</merge> </match> </match> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys"> <!-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to keyboard otherwise). --> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">keyboard</merge> <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name" string="Linux"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.AutoRepeat" type="string">500 30</merge> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> Every time I recompile/upgrade xorg-server, I do this: sudo emerge -1 `qlist -I -C x11-drivers/` Which in my case includes these packages: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-185.18.14 x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.2 x11-drivers/xf86-input-joystick-1.4.0 x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2 x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.4.0 x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-2.1.12 x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-2.2.0 to rebuild the x11-drivers (without doing that, you can be stuck with the dead mouse/keyboard situation). After they rebuild, I quit X, "rmmod nvidia", then start X which will load the rebuilt nvidia-drivers module.

I've developed an ulcer just reading Kevin's thread from the last several days. Marc just posted what I was going to say about nVidia, so I'll just mention that I just posted a comment in Kevin's thread about my mouse configuration, which I hope someone will find useful.

I hope so. devkit is being actively developed, but it's still early days. It can deal with a few hardware bits and bobs, IIRC automounting swappable media is one of them. Some distros are shipping with devkit to do that function (Fedora? Ubuntu?) and using hal for the remainder. I reckon it will be a while before we see the last of hal. Personally, I can't wait for that day to dawn. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 24+ messages in thread

That said, I'm hoping devkit will have a better layout. What would be neat is to have a file that lists all the hardware supported. When something is connected, it just looks at that file to find out what it is and how to communicate with the device and what it is capable of doing. Being able to ass something to that file would be nice but I bet having it already listed can be done. I'm sure most things are documented somewhere. I'm not holding my breath but thinking something good is on the way sure does help. Dale :-) :-) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 24+ messages in thread
