Xorg + KDE4 - No keyboard at login screen

T

Tyszanin

So, welcome posters :)
This is my first post in this forum.
I have to install graphical interface on Acer D260,
i installed all, kde starts right but ...
on login screen keyboard doesn't working...

I have hald & dbus in rc.conf. Any conception?

Greetings, Tysz. :)
 
I first install xorg package as pkg_add -r xorg, next I install kde4 that same way pkg_add -r kde4. I try x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard but it's installed. Mouse works fine (it's Logitech M90 via USB), but keyboard not work in login screen, I can change console by Ctrl+Alt+F1[...]F8 or PrintScrBtn.

I don't have any ideas so I write :)
 
I've had this problem dozens of times.
AFAIK it seams to be related to hald/dbus.... I never really found issue. At some point it started to work.
(I do remember I recompiled hal)
 
Now i recompiling kernel, next i try freebsd-update, i don't have any idea,
i check hardware properties, i have kbd0, kbd1, kbdmux0 devices in /dev.
 
Start for change in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, like so:
Code: 
Option         "AutoAddDevices" "false" # boolean

Remove or comment this line:
Code: 
Option      "Device"    "/dev/kbd1"

Many PC BIOSes offer an Enable/Disable feature what it labelled "USB Legacy" or sometimes "USB Keyboard" (with a separate one for "USB Mouse"). Try to disable the BIOS option.

Read the related X11 Configuration section to understand properly how to config your Xorg.
 
I don't have any option about USB Legacy (I have very basic settings in BIOS, this is netbook). No i reboot, and ... Keyboard working! After recompile :)
