Uhm,,,! Well, I'm apparently not quite there yet... My girlfriend just experienced that her keyboard and mouse locked up hard after a few hours' use. It could have been something like that I experienced too, but I did not investigate at that time. Locked hard means that the secondary mouse generates no events, and the LEDs on the keyboard can't be toggled. Now, I find that /dev/input/event2 is spewing out events persistently, even though no keys are hit. Well, it could be something else than the secondary keyboard, but it fits rather well with being this keyboard, right? Output from /proc/bus/input/devices: I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0d3d Product=0001 Version=0001 N: Name="Tangtop Generic USBPS2" P: Phys=usb-00:04.2-2/input0 H: Handlers=kbd event2 B: EV=120003 B: KEY=10000 7f ffe00000 7ff ffbeffdf ffffffff ffffffff fffffffe B: LED=1f On one hand, I've never seen this behaviour when using the keyboard on other ports, so perhaps it could be the driver, but OTOH, it is strange if the driver would generate keyboard events.... The scroll lock button sits in a somewhat awkward position, perhaps that could do it...? But then, I can't turn it off... Any ideas? Also, is it some way I can reset the keyboard without rebooting the box?

It does that only on special events, e.g. when you switch from the console to X. the Xserver in debian-experimental is able to regrab its hardware with help of the input.agent from http://people.debian.org/~warp/evdev/ , since it can react to events received from a pipe, which the input.agent writes to. the drawback with the event interface configuration is that it seems to have problems with mouse keypresses (the pressbutton event is generated at the same time as the releasebutton event, making dragging and marking things under X impossible). I still want to debug this so this is fully usable. the author of the x event interface can not explain this and never saw this phenomenon. |

Hm, ok, it could be. However, I see no evidence in any logs that it is actually having problems with loosing contact... What should I look for? But then, there are quite a lot of cables here; first the normal cable to a 5m extension cable, which again is connected to the Tangtop, which is connected to the USB port. If any of those gets displaced, obviously, it can happen easily. But then, she was just typing carefully when it happened. BTW, it happened a second time just after I wrote my post. Then, it didn't pour out events, it just sat there. Also, in the first case, DPMS didn't blank the screen, in the second case it did. > the problem with reappearing is that the xserver does not reclaim > its hw automatically once it was gone.

OK, good, so I have it allready, since I use your packages. > one must not have Emulate3Buttons option active, that absorbs the > buttondepress-event and releases it only together with the > button-release-event. OK. I have them off. > this patch (on the above url) also features a fifo which the > input.agent uses to alert the Xserver of hotplug events. this > means that devices are regrabbed on the fly, without the need of > switching to the console and back. Nice. Anyway, from the readme: input.agent: You need to put this in /etc/hotplug/, if you already have an /etc/hotplug/input.agent then you hopefully know enough to make it work. well, I haven't any input.agent, and I have no idea how it can be made to work... :-) Any clues for me...? > there is an issue with the keyboard in that input-agent, though, > i guess that is due to the format change in the later 2.6 > kernels... you could try if it works properly on your 2.4. Yup. I'll try. So, do I just dump the input.agent in /etc/hotplug...? There's no need for a new kernel or a new X binary, if I get you right. Since we have two set of keyboards, the config is somewhat different than in the readme, I presume, do I still need to set the "Dev Phys" and that stuff...? Also, is there any way to provoke the error to see if it is still there. Since the problem is that it blocks after some time of use, it would be great to just make it lock up or let it be, if it is happy with the current state of things... :-) Best, Kjetil -- Kjetil Kjernsmo Astrophysicist/IT Consultant/Skeptic/Ski-orienteer/Orienteer/Mountaineer kj...@kj... web...@sk... ed...@le...

OK, I did, and just replaced the input.agent with the file from above. I have no other hotplug devices now. Also, I discovered that I didn't have hotplug in my kernel, so I enabled that. > it is possible to include this input agent into other input > agents, withoug much effort, if others have other input needs > besides X. > > > There's no need for a new kernel or a new X binary, if I get you > > right. > > you need to adjust your xf86config, yes. OK. It seemed easy enough. Only thing that doesn't seem to work right now is the mousewheel on the USB...

Well, how long was Adam in paradise...? :-) I'm back to the first error again; freeze-up and events are being generated to /dev/input/event2 I can't find anything in the logs that are relevant to the crash itself. However, I think I remember I saw something at bootup about not being able to find usb** hotplugs or something. I can't find that in dmesg, though, so I guess it wasn't important...? What may be of some importance is that I can't find any evidence that input.agent has been run.
