[gentoo-user] Keyboard works in Grub but not once Gentoo is booted

[gentoo-user] Keyboard works in Grub but not once Gentoo is booted

[Mark Knecht]

My son got a new, fancy Razer gaming keyboard for his birthday today.
The keyboard works in grub so I can choose Windows or Linux. It works
fine in Windows but once Gentoo is booted it does nothing.

I see that the device is recognized in under /proc and the device is
seen in lsusb but the system doesn't seem to understand that 1532 is
Razer and that 0102 is their Tarantula keyboard. This is also true for
their Copperhead mouse with is 1532:0101.

Is there a way for me to indicate to the system that these ID's should
use regular USB mouse and keyboard drivers?

Thanks,
Mark

   Maybe there is a page around somewhere about how to deal with new
USB device IDS under Gentoo? Using slocate I found this file:

/usr/share/misc/usb.ids

There is no entry for Razer and no use of the Vendor ID 1532:

<SNIP>
1520  Bitwire Corp.
152e  LG (HLDS)
        e001  GSA-5120D DVD-RW
1546  U-Blox AG
1554  Prolink Microsystems Corp.
<SNIP>

Looking at the Microsoft entries it would appear that I could edit
this file and probably get lsusb to recognize the device by name but
what makes it link to the right mouse or keyboard driver?

<SNIP>
045e  Microsoft Corp.
        0007  SideWinder Game Pad
        0008  SideWinder Precision Pro
        0009  IntelliMouse
<SNIP>

Thanks in advance,
Mark

Have you installed hotplug?  iirc, it's still required to load up the likes
of USB peripherals you state.

Yes, it's set.

Sector9 ~ # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep CONFIG_USB_HID
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
# CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT_POWERBOOK is not set
# CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV is not set
Sector9 ~ #

Now, I just grabbed a Microsoft USB mouse and it's not working either
so I think you're onto the right area. I must not have something
turned on that is required for any of these USB input devices to work.

Of course, by 'not working' I'm saying X isn't responding. Maybe the
mouse is working and X isn't configured correctly? xorg.conf has this:

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "Auto" # Auto detect
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"

As I say with the M$ mouse plugged in it's recognized but it doesn't
cause X to do anything:

Sector9 linux # lsusb
Bus 002 Device 015: ID 045e:0039 Microsoft Corp. IntelliMouse Optical
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1532:0101
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05e3:0604 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB 1.1 Hub
Bus 002 Device 014: ID 1532:0102
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000


Is there a way to cat the mouse output to a terminal so that when I
wiggle the mouse I see some stuff in the terminal?

Thanks,

[gentoo-user] [SOLVED] Keyboard works in Grub but not once Gentoo is booted

[Mark Knecht]

Rebuilt the kernel with a few more options and rebooted. It's working
now. No way to be exactly sure what got it going at this point. Not
sure I care. It works!

Thanks for the help.

Over and out,
