Updated to xorg-1.7.6 as part of an emerge -uDN world. After which, my keyboard and mouse will not work. I have reinstalled the drivers several times, changed xorg.config files, drivers and even used no xorg.config file at all. Nothing in my fdi directory. xorg-1.7 (which is what I had previously) has been removed from portage, so I tried to skip ahead to 1.8. I now have a working mouse and keyboard, but other problems exist -- most likely because the nvidia driver for my geforce 4ti card is not compatible (according to portage and the nvidia site) with xorg-1.8. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn on computer (or if xdm is not configured for default run level, then /etc/init.d/xdm start) Actual Results: Mouse and keyboard are not responsive once xdm starts. I cannot even hit capslock or numlock -- keyboard is dead. Mouse still has red diode glow, but cursor will not move on screen. Keyboard is ps2 and mouse is usb. Expected Results: Expected to have keyboard and mouse working as normal. Yes, I have tried "emerge -av1 $(qlist -I -C x11-drivers)" *after* my build of xorg-server. It doesn't make a difference in this case. Never had any problems with this before. Have been using xorg-1.7 and evdev with compositing with no issues. Seems like xorg-1.8 would work -- if there was a driver for it. Using nv driver for the moment, but of course, this is not as good, and will not allow for compositing.

Could you attach full xorg log from one of the cases, when you had no input ?
Created attachment 228801 [details] An x log Some output from one of my early attempts to get this to work...
Could you attach xorg.conf.new, that produced that log ? Could you also check your fdi files ? It seems that for some reason, there was an attempt to use old 'kbd' and 'mouse' drivers, instead of 'evdev'.
Created attachment 228807 [details] xorg.conf.new Sure, but like I said I don't have anything in my fdi directory, and this is only one of several xorg.confs I tried -- including no conf at all. I'll try to attach a couple I have tried.
Created attachment 228809 [details] The one I typically use... and works with the xorg-1.8...
Created attachment 228811 [details] Another a friend posted, again works with 1.7 and 1.8, but not 1.7.6..
One from comment 6 looks alright. Try that one again. See also, what exactly hal prints, when you query it for input devices' settings (explained in detail in the old hal/evdev sticky on the forum). As for 1.8 server, till nvivia releases, nothing can be done.
Any updates here? Did you fix the problem? I'm asking cause I need to know whether to assign this report or not.
Sorry, you caught me during exam week, and things have been crazy. I haven't had time to address this. I'll try to get to it tomorrow.
(In reply to comment #10) > Sorry, you caught me during exam week, and things have been crazy. I haven't > had time to address this. I'll try to get to it tomorrow. > Found this bug page whilst trying to solve a similar issue. I just updated to xorg servre 1.8 with the release of a new NVidia driver, "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.24-pkg2.run". I believe it was released on April 28 according to the download page. Anyway, after "emerge -avu xorg-server", and running the aforementioned NVidia driver install, I had an unresponsive Gnome when running startx. The keyboard and mouse did not work. I could not ALT+CTRL+F1 back to my original shell, but was able to SSH into the system to kill X. I emerged "xkeyboard-config" and "xf86-input-mouse", still with no luck moving the mouse or using the keyboard. After that, I tried "startx > STDOUT 2> STDERR" and saw this in STDERR after killing X again: --------------------------------------------------------- (EE) module ABI major version (7) doesn't match the server's version (9) (EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module requirement mismatch, 0) (EE) No input driver matching `evdev' (EE) module ABI major version (7) doesn't match the server's version (9) (EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module requirement mismatch, 0) (EE) No input driver matching `evdev' (EE) module ABI major version (7) doesn't match the server's version (9) (EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module requirement mismatch, 0) (EE) No input driver matching `evdev' (EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring) (EE) module ABI major version (7) doesn't match the server's version (9) (EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module requirement mismatch, 0) (EE) No input driver matching `evdev' ------------------------------------------------------------ (yes it appeared that many times) Running "emerge -av xf86-input-evdev" from there has fixed the problem for me.
>Running "emerge -av xf86-input-evdev" from there has fixed the problem for me. No. This is for a 4600 Ti card, which uses the 96 series driver. The latest of which is 96.43.16, which is not designed for xorg 1.8. Your fix will not work here. Thanks anyway. I will set the system back to 1.7.6 where the keyboard breaks and continue testing as directed. Thanks

Umm... I am having difficulty finding this sticky. There is only one sticky that mentions evdev in it under "Desktop", and nothing else under the other headings. I don't know any way to look up an "old" sticky. There are cetainly a lot of posts that reference the "hal/evdev" sticky, but I cannot find it. Do you just want the hal-device output, or something more? If you have a like to the sticky you mention, it would be most helpful. Thanks.
Hello, I notice two things off the bat: 1. You have -O3 set in your CFLAGS and this is not recommended as it _can_ randomly break things on your system: CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" 2. This may be something silly but are you sure you're using the nvidia opengl interface? I know that shouldn't do anything to the keyboard and mouse but just in case. Try running eselect opengl set nvidia.
I meant http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-722498.html of course. It's "old", cause it was started months ago. And yes, hal-device output and those few other things mentioned there.
Please upload the output of "emerge -pv -e xorg-server hal dbus", to let maintainters see all your dep tree.

Well... there are 17 pages there, it wast titled differently, and I wasn't sure exactly what you wanted... now that I know, I can execute that, but there is a minor snag... It seems that the cooler on the CPU has just went kaput. It will be a few days before I can get a new one... I apologize, but I must wait before I can take the system back to 1.7.6. I can run the system, but only for a few minutes, and as soon as I compile something, it crashes. If it helps, I can attach what evdev is reporting with xorg-1.7.8 installed... >Please upload the output of "emerge -pv -e xorg-server hal dbus", to let maintainters see all your dep tree. Sure, I can do that. Again, 1.7.8 is currently installed, but I cleared everything in my /etc/portage/package.keywords and ran it, so I think it should be fine.
Created attachment 230161 [details] empty tree for xorg-server, hal and dbus emerge -pv -e xorg-server hal dbus
Please attach the output of nvidia-bug-report.sh Thanks
Created attachment 230217 [details] the result of nvidia-bug-report.sh Here ya go. Thanks.
Created attachment 231139 [details] with system recompiled to current Received my new cooler, and recompiled the system completely. The entire system is current and consistent as of the past 5 mintues. Attaching a nvidia bug report. Again -- I want to stress that I reinstalled the drivers AFTER installing xorg, and I am using stable packages exclusively. The problem persists.
Okay, I see that 1.77 was added to portage since my initial post, and I have just upgraded to that. I recompiled hal and dbus and tweaked my xorg.conf -- and now it works. Thank you, we can close this now.
