| |
Hi,
First off, I do not subcribe to the kernel list, so if anyone responds to this, please CC me at vi@sh.nu.
I've got an MS Natural keyboard plugged in via USB. I've mapped all the "Internet Keys", those blue keys above the keyboard, in X using xmodmap. I use them to control xmms, volume, spawn shells, etc.
Ever since 2.4.10, these keys have stopped working. I suspect it's some issue with USB, as my mouse, an MS Intellimouse Optical, also stopped working in X with that kernel. The fix for the mouse was to change the protocol from NetmousePS/2 to ExplorerPS/2. I never use console, so I don't know if it broke there too. Keep in mind here that the only thing that changed was the kernel. Nothing in X changed. If I go back to 2.4.9, everything works as it did before. This problem exists with all kernels between 2.4.10 and 2.4.13.
To further prove the usb theory, these mouse and keyboard issues have been present in all the ac kernels since about 2.4.5-acX. I understand that a lot of these ac changes were merged into 2.4.10. So it seems logical to conclude that something that was merged from ac is the cause of this.
I'm not a kernel programmer, so I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. I've searched high and low for resolutions to this issue and have come up blank. That is why I'm posting here.
Thanks,
Daniel Ceregatti
