[SOLVED]Keyboard and mouse doesn't working

xorgx3 · 2012-03-27 16:18:43

After upgrade my system I wanted disable my touchapd in laptop.
I was installed GPointing Device Settings and check "disable touchpad". After reboot working ONLY TOUCHPAD, but not working keyboard and mouse.
Can fix them without reinstall system?

Does the problem (your keyboard/mouse not working) only occur in X or also in console (just the keyboard in that case)?

If it's only in X, check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/* config files.

I don't know, becouse i can't turn on console (ctrl+alt+f1, etc). Is possibility turn on console in another method?

When you boot your system and get to your bootloader, try editing the kernel line, instructing your machine to boot in runlevel 3.

If you're using GRUB, this can simply be done by pressing E, adding the number 3 to the kernel line and then pressing B to boot. So that would be something among the lines of:

kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda3 ro 3

I dont know why, but if I replace nomodeset number 3, Arch run is not complety. When should show console I saw just black screen.

You don't need to remove anything from the kernel line (leave nomodeset etc as is). Just add 3 to the end of the line.

If I have added something (no matter what) to the end of line - system run normal.

Another way?

From what I find out from a quick Google search; that GPointing Device Settings tool basically edits your Xorg config.

Perhaps the simplest way now (if you can't figure out how to boot to runlevel 3) is to boot from a live cd, chroot in and check your Xorg config versus what's documented for touchpad use here.

OK, problem solved

I just run arch in runlevel 1 and replace in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf option MatchIsTouchpad "off" MatchIsTouchpad "on".

Now everyhing working, but I still don't know how disable touchpad

OK, everything is good now SOLVED
