keyboard and mouse not working after boot
Hello!
After last upgrade, my keyboard and mouse (both PS/2) stop working after system boot, making the system totally unusable. I already read that post: "http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/arch-29/no-keys-no-mouse-933764/", it seems like the same problem, but don't want to reinstall the system. Is there any way to fix it? Notes: I am using a live cd, and I created this new thread because the other was already marked as solved. |
I've had problems using evdev as the input device for X, and had to switch back to the old keyboard and mouse drivers. Does your keyboard work outside of X? (ie: can you Ctrl+Shift+F1 to tty1 and login?)
/var/log/Xorg.0.log should also tell you what's going on. If you post that it could help. |
Ctrl+Shift+F1 also don't work
the /var/log/Xorg.0.log is attached below |
I don't see the attached Xorg.0.log?

Sorry, looks like I forgot it.
NOW, it's attached |
Well, it looks like your keyboard/mouse are using the evdev driver, and no issues were reported... Do you happen to have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? If you do, please post it.
Also, what is the output of: Code:
pacman -Q | grep xf86-input |
There's no xorg.conf file

Since I can't edit:
I just read the second Xorg.0.conf file. There is no reference to loading or detecting any keyboard/mouse drivers devdev or otherwise) I suggest attempting to remove the nouveau drivers and see how this works for you. - Boot into Ubuntu - Mount your Arch drive - In a terminal window run the following Code:

$ pacman -Rd <packagename> |
the "pacman -Q | grep xf86-input" output is:
xf86-input-acecad 1.5.0-2 xf86-input-aiptek 1.4.1-2 xf86-input-evdev 2.6.0-4 xf86-input-joystick 1.6.0-3 xf86-input-keyboard 1.6.1-1 xf86-input-mouse 1.7.1-2 xf86-input-synaptics 1.5.0-1 xf86-input-vmmouse 12.7.0-3 xf86-input-void 1.4.0-2 I will try removing the nouveau drivers |
I removed the nouveau drivers but still the same problem.
I created a standard xorg.conf file and the same problem occurs. But, if I remove the screen and monitor sections from the file, the pc boots with mouse and keyboard working (with no video, of course). |
Hmmm... I read a topic on the Arch linux forums not too long ago.
Here is the post: Quote:

I uninstalled the xf86-input-keyboard and mouse packages but still the same...
Should I proceed installing the hal? From that point I am considering to reinstall the system |
I reinstalled the system and it's working fine now.
Thank you very much for the interest in my case |
