[SOLVED]evdev driver problems after xorg-server-1.16.0-5

DaMadOne · 2014-07-30 02:33:18

xf86-input-evdev-2.9.0-2, xorg-server-1.16.0-5, xorg-server-common-1.16.0-5 and xorg-twm-1.0.8-2 <- one of those packages is the offender.

With that update installed my mouse and keyboard (single usb logitech dongle) get disabled when running openbox and xorg log complains of hotplugging. However XFCE works fine. Most of what I am finding on the webs is really outdated and nothing has worked. I downgraded those packages and things are working again. Luckily I can ssh in and kill openbox because I cant get back to tty. I will continue to tinker and report back if I figure it out but for now my xorg log is below.

Facing the same issue. We're not supposed to use xorg.conf though and they want us to comment out the input section of xorg.conf.
Unfortunately that doesn't change a thing, xorg still claims to find no specified driver for mouse and keyboard and therefore disables these devices.

shoober420 · 2014-07-30 11:11:50

I'm also experiencing this problem. This is the worst thing to happen for a new user. I was thinking I did something wrong, or set up Arch incorrectly. I guess I'll just have to wait it out until they fix evdev.

hybrid · 2014-07-30 12:06:39

It still may be that you and I set something up incorrectly. :>

DaMadOne: I'd like to narrow down the list of packages a bit. I don't use xorg-twm, still face the same trouble. I downgraded xorg-server to 1.15 and xf86-input-evdev to 2.9.0-1 since -2 conflicts with xorg-server < 1.16 and the trouble is gone. So in my opinion it must be either one of these packages (yes, I'm currently running xorg-server 1.15 with xorg-server-commons 1.16).
xf86-input-evdev -2 doesn't seem to differ from -1 except for the fact that it now conflicts with xorg-server < 1.16
The xorg-server-1.16 package differs a lot of course. For now I'm ignoring the binaries and modules in the package. The config files now moved to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. The 10-evdev.conf didn't change from xorg-server 1.15 to 1.16. The 10-quirks-conf did change, a couple more exceptions were added but I don't see how these new exceptions would be (falsely) applied to my setup and in that case xorg shouldn't complain about not specified drivers. The nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf was newly added but I don't really see how that would interfere with the autodetection of usb keyboards/mice either.

edit: filed a bug report, we'll see how that goes.

Glad to know im not alone. As for "we're not supposed to use xorg.conf" I don't have a choice.. it does not auto detect and properly setup my 3 monitors without it. It has never worked but I did try running without it last night just to see if it might these days... it doesn't =P

Shoober420: Since you are on a fresh install you wont have the old ones in your pacman cache so go grab the following packages from the rollback server and manually install them. It will at least get you going.

ftp://seblu.net/archlinux/arm/packages/ … pkg.tar.xz
ftp://seblu.net/archlinux/arm/packages/ … pkg.tar.xz

since you said you are a new user in case you're not sure how to manually install them use "sudo pacman -U xorg-server-1.15.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xf86-input-evdev-2.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz"

Hybrid said he is using the new xorg common pkg with those 2 downgraded ones, but in case it gives you problems the older pkg URL is below

ftp://seblu.net/archlinux/arm/packages/ … pkg.tar.xz

EDIT* hybrid, have you tried to set the new xorg to work the old way? It mentions it when you install the new pkg. I didn't get much time to tinker last night. I will try when I get off work if you have not. the following is what it says if you were not aware.

>>> xorg-server has now the ability to run without root rights with
the help of systemd-logind. xserver will fail to run if not launched
from the same virtual terminal as was used to log in.
Without root rights, log files will be in ~/.local/share/xorg/ directory.

Old behavior can be restored through Xorg.wrap config file.
See Xorg.wrap man page (man xorg.wrap).

Just adding to the info. I found that I can comment out all the input sections of my xorg.conf then disable hotplugging with Option "AutoAddDevices" "False" and Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False" in the serverflags section of xorg.cong and then install xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard. Then mouse and keyboard work in openbox. However while the mouse still works in XFCE my keyboard does not. This would just be a crappy workaround and not a fix though if it had worked right with XFCE too.

EDIT* I have such a love/hate relationship with bugs.. i hate to get them.. but normally I learn something in the process of trying to fix them which I love... anyhow ive learned from comparing xorg.logs from openbox and xfce that the following is completely normal..

[ 1990.157] (WW) Hotplugging is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled.
[ 1990.157] (WW) Disabling Keyboard0
[ 1990.157] (WW) Disabling Mouse0

what is happening is that when loading openbox it is not loading evdev as shown in the code block below. It is saying "No input driver specified, ignoring this device." for the mouse, keyboard and the logitech unifying device.

Like hybrid said it doesn't look like evdev has changed except for it now conflicts with older xorg-servers.

I just added "AutoAddDevices False" and "AllowEmptyInput False" to my xorg.conf, and my mouse and keyboard are working also. Thanks for this workaround. It will do fine until they update evdev.

DaMadOne · 2014-07-31 00:45:19

no problem shoober

I have some more info though! I am typing this from openbox on 1.16. I use XFCE normally and only xinit into openbox-session from tty in order to have a minimal environment to play games via steam. I just had a lightbulb appear over my head and realized that I use startx to start XFCE from my .xinitrc and I use xinit ./Games/steam (which is just a script to xset some things and start up openbox). so i changed my xinitrc to exec openbox-session and bam it's working. Im not 100% sure what this means yet.. but im getting there =P

were you guys having this problem when launching via startx or xinit like me?

I was just trying out different things with the fix, and it seems that the only thing you need to do, at least for me, is add "AutoAddDevices" "false" to the "ServerLayout" section of xorg.conf. The other command isn't needed, and I also didn't have to comment out anything in my Input sections. Like you said earlier, you do need the "xf86-input-mouse" and "xf86-input-keyboard" packages installed or it won't work. I do use startx to boot X. I also use my own custom .xinitrc file, and evilwm. This solution works flawlessly right now.

When you were talking about how the different window managers react to evdev, are you saying that this could be a problem with older window managers, instead of evdev itself? The strange thing is, evilwm and 1.16 worked fine for me under Debian sid, so I think it does have to do with evdev, with Arch using the more recent version then Debain's evdev, probably to avoid situations like the one we are experiencing now.

DaMadOne · 2014-07-31 01:15:34

Nope it's not evdev at all. Basically everyting in this thread up til now was pointless. Instead of "xinit ./Games/steam" I used "startx ./Games/steam" and everything is working like normal with all my configs the same as when I was on xorg 1.15. So it must be a permissions thing seeing as how 1.16 has changed the way it does some things as told by the 1.16 pkg when installing. So I dont think this is even a bug at all and just the way things will be done from now on. Im not going to mark this as solved quite yet until one of the gurus pops in here and says "yea dumb a$$es... thats the way you are supposed to do it!!"

EDIT* I just changed up my .xinitrc as per "Making a DE/WM choice" @ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xinitrc so I can just startx and get xfce as default and "startx ~/.xinitrc openbox" or "xinit openbox" to get openbox.

I don't quite understand. I also use "startx" to execute evilwm via .xinitrc, but I still have problems. I wasn't using xinit at all. What did you do exactly to fix the problem?

nothing except use "startx ./Games/steam" instead of "xinit ./Games/steam" when I was simply trying to get it to work. ~/Games/steam was nothing but a script I had used before to xset some things and then launch an openbox-session. I have other scripts for launching games by themselves that dont needs steam.. therefore I dont't even use a WM just launch the game bins instead of a wm.

~/Games/steam

#!/bin/sh
xsetroot -xcf /usr/share/icons/DMZ-Black/cursors/left_ptr 8
xset s off
xset s noblank
nvidia-settings --load-config-only &
/usr/bin/openbox-session

~/Games/ksp

#!/bin/sh
xsetroot -xcf /usr/share/icons/DMZ-Black/cursors/left_ptr 8
xset s off
xset s noblank
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only &
/usr/bin/compton -b --backend xrender --vsync opengl
/home/damadone/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/KSP.x86_64

After reading through the Arch wiki page for .xinitrc I setup my .xinitrc as shown below and then following the wiki ran "cp /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc ~/.xserverrc". Now all I have to do is run "xinit <.xinitrc case expression>" (ie. "xinit ksp" to load kerbal space program). Like I said before.. love/hate relationship with issues as I usually learn something.. and now launching my game scripts is easier.

#!/bin/sh

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
  done
  unset f
fi

# Here Xfce is kept as default
session=${1:-xfce}

case $session in
    openbox|steam  ) exec openbox-session;; 
    xfce|xfce4     ) exec startxfce4;; 
    ksp            ) exec ~/Games/ksp;;
    doom           ) exec ~/Games/doom;;
    duke           ) exec ~/Games/eduke32;;
    winesteam      ) exec ~/Games/winesteam;;  
    xplane         ) exec ~/Games/xplane64;;
    *              ) exec $1;;
esac

Not sure why yours is still not working.. Have you tried other WMs just to try? if not try installing openbox and changing your .xinitrc to exec openbox-session and then just run startx and see if it's working. If not then maybe have a different yet similar issue?

shoober420 · 2014-07-31 04:54:35

I don't get how I was able to run evilwm perfectly fine with 1.16 under Debian sid, but it doesn't work under Arch. It must have something to do with evdev. I can't imagine using another wm would fix the problem. I don't think a wm effects how X binds ot your input devices. I'll wait and see if it gets fixed after some evdev updates.

jasonwryan · 2014-07-31 05:11:25

The debian 1.16 package is not the same as the Arch 1.16 package. Notably, debian ships an evdev.conf (among a lot of other things).

shoober420 · 2014-07-31 06:17:47

I'm going to use the 10-evdev.conf sample file from the wiki, and see it that fixes the problem. I didn't have a 10-evedv.conf file in my xorg.conf.d folder to begin with. Maybe thats the problem.

Putting the sample 10-evdev.conf file from the Arch wiki didn't fix the problem. I still have no mouse or keyboard input, unless I install xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard. I also have to put "AutoAddDevices" "False" in my xorg.conf under the "ServerLayout" section.

ratchet · 2014-07-31 16:43:00

My mouse and keyboard also stopped working in X after the upgrade. I thought that a desktop manager might do correctly whatever it was I was failing to do (I had been starting xfce with xinit), so I installed lightdm and now keyboard and mouse work.

Although my desktop seems to be functional again, I remain in the dark...

hybrid · 2014-07-31 16:43:16

shoober420: Well as already said in the other thread: Unless you deliberately erased it you do have all the config files under /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. But this doesn't have anything to do with the issue.
How do you invoke your x server?

In my case the problem may probably be that I spawn my x on vt7 by running "startx -- vt7". Acording to Jan de Groot this breaks systemd-logind. I'll try that later when I am back home.

I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. I refuse to use a display manager. I just want to be able to launch X with startx. I see no reason as to why startx would cause issues with input. I'm going to try another wm and see if that somehow fixes this. But, I'm going to bed now.

No, I didn't have any files in there. When I did a fresh Arch install, it was completely empty. There was nothing in it. I have put the 10-evdev.conf in there, and 50-mouse-acceleration.conf (to disable mouse acceleration) file in there recently. I have not deleted anything. I wouldn't do that.

I use the following to launch X.

startx -- -nolisten tcp

I can confirm, that after the new Xorg server update 1.16.0-6, and using a different wm, I still have no input unless I use the workaround provided.

shoober420 · 2014-08-02 07:11:15

Hey DaMadOne, a user by the name of Procyon has came up with a fix, at least for me. You have to put the vt1 command like parameter to your string to launch Xserver. Try it, and see if it fixes it for you. Thank you so much for the workaround BTW, or else I would of never made it this far.

startx -- -nolisten tcp vt1

Thanks shoober and you're welcome. I have already changed up all of my scripts to work in the way I showed before or I would try it. I dont use a DM either.. but once I changed to launching everything through my .xinitrc instead of separate scripts for everything, I no longer had any trouble. Even before I moved everything through my .xinitrc I was able to launch the exact sripts I used before using "startx ~./<path to script>" instead of "xinit ~./<path-to-script>" and my mouse and keyboard would work. It all boils down to the rootless change made in 1.16. For me though it's much easier and a much shorter command launching things the way i'm doing it now and im glad I was forced down this road. I'm glad you got everything sorted out, I am going to go ahead and mark this one as solved.

startx by itself is not secure - a naughty person can press Alt-Ctrl-F1, Ctrl-C, then be logged on as you in the terminal

I would imagine those of us who use startx would also use vlock in conjunction as suggested by the thread you posted.
