I should add that I am using gentoo-2.6.20-r8, amd64 single processor. I've tried it on two different motherboard (ASUS A8N-E and also an ASUS M8NPV-VM), both recent. I also tried it on my notebook computer (using Gentoo 2.6.20-r8, x86), an IBM Thinkpad T42 and my Sharp Zaurus C1000 (non-Gentoo-sources, kernel 2.6.21, arm). It was also broken on the Zaurus with 2.6.15 kernel and on all the other computers with a 2.6.18 kernel. I will also add that the stuck-key affect is both present in console-mode and using X. Reopen if you can reproduce this with gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r5; thanks. I'm re-opening this because I have confirmed it is still a problem with 2.6.22. kers@willdkers ~ $ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.22-gentoo-r5 (root@willdkers) (gcc version 4.1.1 (Gentoo 4.1.1)) #1 SMP Fri Aug 31 21:49:31 MDT 2007 So, it never worked with any kernel? Should go upstream them. :) I think this one can go upstream. Do I just post a bug to the kernel bugzilla? ( http://bugzilla.kernel.org/) Let's try to gather some more information before sending this upstream: Can you please post your kernel .config and your dmesg output? Also, can you please test with the latest development kernel, 2.6.23-rc5 as of this writing. Thanks. dmesg output is attached (using 2.6.23-rc5). kernel config for that particular kernel is also attached (its _almost_ default, with exception of +sata_nv and +pata_nv drivers and +md for mirroring).

dmesg - includes CONFIG_HID_DEBUG set in config
USB KBD plug in, use and removal is at bottom. I did a modprobe usbhid prior to attaching keyboard. See bottom of text for that.

kernel config
In 2.6.23 there's a new boot parameter used to turn on HID debugging. Add this to your kernel command line: (the line in grub.conf that starts with 'kernel'): hid.hid_debug=1 Then please post your dmesg output again, including your plugging in, using and unplugging the keyboard. (Also, since you have all HID options compiled into the kernel, you might as well compile in CONFIG_USB_HID (so that CONFIG_USB_HID=y), you've got that as a module now.) See comment #12, please reopen if/when you can provide the requested info. |
