[SOLVED] Keyboard and mouse not detected in Xorg

TeaBough · 2012-06-21 12:24:28

Hi,

2 weeks ago I made a pacman -Suy, and now I am experiencing some problems with Xorg. Every time I boot my computer (desktop) my keyboard and my mouse doesn't work. I think it is an Xorg problem because when I remove slim from rc.conf, my keyboard work. Moreover, when slim is on and I unplug and plug my keyboard and my mouse then it suddenly works ! /var/log/Xorg.0.log doesn't give me any errors. I googled a lot but didn't find any solution.

Anyone have any ideas of what I can try??

Have you updated (pacman -Syu) again, or was the last time two weeks ago? That's a long time to go between updates, so the first thing I'd try is another update.

There are some similar topics, but none with a solution:
Arch 64-bit only distro that won't recognize my USB mouse & keyboard
Wireless mouse pointer which does not move after boot *sometimes*

The problem happened two weeks ago after upgrading. I did lots of other upgradings after that. The last one was last night.

hmm did you try re-running

Xorg -configure

. it might be a silly question but that's always the first thing I do when Xorg acts up and seems to do alright most of the time. You just have to run it while the X server isn't on.

I take that to mean that input hotplugging doesn't work? To explicitly set this (I have always found this more reliable) try something like:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Keyboard0"
	Driver      "evdev"
        Option    "CoreKeyboard"
	Option    "Device" "/dev/input/event6"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Mouse0"
	Driver      "evdev"
	Option    "Device" "/dev/input/event7"
EndSection

You can find out the right event numbers by reading /proc/bus/input/devices.

Quand je tente un

Xorg -configure

je reçois l'erreur suivante :

Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.

I have found the solution. Actually it was a problem with fstab. I just removed this line :

tmpfs     /var/run       tmpfs    defaults    0      0

and it worked !
