i am having problems with a usb keyboard (microsoft natural keyboard elite). on boot, the keyboard works fine (usb support is enabled in the BIOS), and i can use the keyboard to select the boot image in GRUB.
when the USB subsystem comes up in linux, the keyboard dies (i.e. pressing the keys has no effect, and the capslock/numlock/scrolllock keys do not activate the LEDs). other USB devices work fine though (wacom graphire tablet, hauppauge radio tuner, yamaha cd writer). a ps/2 keyboard attached to the system must be used to control the system. dmesg contains the following message: hiddev0: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [045e:000b] on USB2:11.0 lsmod shows that the following modules are loaded: mousedev 5524 0 (unused) evdev 5742 0 (unused) wacom 7988 0 (unused) keybdev 2976 0 (unused) input 5920 0 [mousedev evdev wacom keybdev] hid 11796 0 (unused) usb-uhci 26168 0 (unused) usbcore 77024 1 [wacom hid usbvision usb-uhci] the system hardware browser in GNOME shows the keyboard listed, so it seems that the system is aware of its presence. i am using the keyboard with a KVM switch (which is why the keyboard is listed as device #11 -- every time i switch consoles, linux detects a device disconnect and reconnect, incrementing the device number assigned). however, i have tried connecting the keyboard directly to the machine, and the problem is the same. the keyboard does not work in console mode OR in X. i have tested it with other machines (win2000 and winXP) and it works fine. configuration: rh8.0 (2.4.18-14) on a dell dimension 2300 dual-boot with windows XP 128MB RAM, 30GB HD any assistance is much appreciated... aleem. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
