| |
Hello,
I am having trouble with keyboard and mouse using Linux 2.4.20: - the keyboard is a Logitech Internet Navigator and the mouse is a Logitech MX300: both can be plugged to usb but I use PS2 - the PC is a Dell 650 dual Xeon at 2.4Ghz with MPT SCSI controler - I compiled the kernel from the original source plus: + update of the mpt driver (2.03.00) + patch-o-matic to add support for PPTP (but modules of netfilter are currently not loaded)
During boot the machine reports: keyboard: Timeout - AT keyboard not present?(00)
but seems to start correctly. When I start X, the mouse does not work: to get it working I have to switch to another terminal (using ctrl-alt-F1) then back to the graphical environement. It seems that some initialisation is not performed correctly at this point (maybe from the X server side?). If I disable numlock before starting X, the mouse works.
Sometimes I get further 'keyboard: Timeout - AT keyboard not present?(XX)' with various values for XX (ed,f4,02,04). Finally I have 'lost' the keyboard a couple of times: when starting X or after a period of inactivity. In such cases, unplugging and reconnecting the keyboard fixes the problem (I am not sure this is something to do!). Today the machine crashed after I pressed 'numlock'.
I noticed that someone reported a similar problem also on a Dell PC: could it be related to the BIOS on these machines?
