Solved Keyboard not working gdm

[kuroneko2016]

When I am at the login screen with gdm I can't type anything and not even the num lock light work but each time I press 6 I hear a beep sound until I log in (with the onscreen keyboard) the keyboard just doesn't work at all. It only work while starting gnome with startx.

I also already have dbus-daemon(1) and hald(8) enabled in rc.conf

Does it work without Xorg?

Yes it also work without Xorg the problem is only when I use gdm to log in and when I type the command startx (I do this without Xorg of course) it work but doesn't work if I use gdm

Please post your Xorg.0.log.

This is the part you need right? I can't post it entirely because too much text.

Best post it all.

Here's an easy way to do it: Install misc/pastebinit and pastebinit < /var/log/Xorg.0.log. This will send it to a Pastebin site and print a URL. Post the URL here.

Looks like it's properly detected:

[ 27.018] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "kbdmux" (type: KEYBOARD, id 6)

If Gnome works (using startx) and Xorg detects it properly the issue must be with GDM. Did you use some customized configuration for it?

I didn't. I just installed gdm and changed nothing about it I even reinstalled it and the same thing was happening I don't know why it does that is there something we can change in gdm to make it work?

Can you show us your /etc/rc.conf?

 

[kuroneko2016]

/etc/rc.conf

hostname="BSD"
keymap="ca-fr"
ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
sshd_enable="YES"
ntpd_enable="NO"
powerd_enable="YES"
# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="AUTO"
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"

Try to see if it works after adding these options:

gdm_enable="YES"
gnome_enable="YES"

Still doesn't work and I had to remove them after trying and reboot or I will be stuck with the mouse and onscreen keyboard

What kind of keyboard do you have? PS/2 or USB?

Did you configure devfs.conf(5) and devfs.rules(5)?

It seems that you skipped the devfs configuration here.

I didn't configure it. Maybe that's the problem so how do I configure it?

 

[kuroneko2016]

It now work after I reinstalled FreeBSD and still thank you everyone for your help.

Indeed it has nothing to do with it, but devfs allows normal user to mount CDROM, DVD or USB devices.

On the other hand, to have animations enabled: x11/gnome-shell requires acceleration of to work.

Read /usr/ports/x11/gnome-shell/pkg-message for further information.
