Description David Ronis 2011-11-09 07:35:00 UTC

I upgraded my git/master Xorg installation on a HP Pavillion 5000 laptop.    Several critical issues have come up (see,  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42690), and I was told to file them separately.   

When X start my keyboard and mouse aren't recognized.   Both are handled by evdev.    When I unplug and plug in the mouse it is recognized.   Unfortunately I can't do that with the
keyboard (it's on a laptop :)).   I also have a mousepad, which used to work using the synaptics driver; it no longer works either.

I'll upload copies of my xorg.log and xorg.conf files in a few hours.

BTW, if you want me to triangulate, let me know.   I'll need you to tell me in what component (e.g., xserver, xf86-input-evdev, etc.) and how to go about doing it (I'm not good at git).

Comment 4 Peter Hutterer 2011-11-10 14:37:44 UTC

There was an evdev bug that I just fixed. Maybe that may have been it, just pull evdev from git master and rebuild it.

Comment 5 David Ronis 2011-11-10 15:18:54 UTC

I'm not physically able to access the machine in question, but I rebuilt/installed evdev and started
X from a remote host.    grepping Xorg.0.log for evdev shows nothing related to the keyboard or mouse.   Just:

[163709.023] (II) LoadModule: "evdev"
[163709.030] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so

I'd bet that they still fried.

Xorg.0.log after upgrading evdev

As requested,  I've uploaded a full log after upgrading evdev.  Note that I was not able to activate the mouse by unplugging and plugging the mouse.

Comment 8 David Ronis 2011-11-16 19:29:37 UTC

I flamed all of xorg (libs, drivers, server etc) and rebuilt everything from scratch from the git/master.   The problem has gone away.   I suspect one of the libs was the culpret as I don't update them as often
as I do the server and drivers.

I'll close this.
