USB keyboard not working on fresh Psyche install

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




I did a fresh install of Psyche on my brother's PC over the W/E (blatting his old 7.x).


I hit what appears to be a common problem initially in that the CD install program wouldn't accept keypresses on the first menu ("install or media check"). I bit of fiddling and I managed to get that working fine by booting off the cd with 'linux noprobe nopcmcia askmedia' (mostly by selecting various options at rendom till it worked - note that noprobe and nopcmcia by themselves didn't help).

This got me in and working.


Now it's installed, though, X (gdm login) isn't responding to the keyboard (even <Ctrl-Alt-Delete>). The grub menu works fine, though. I've not had much of a chance to tinker yet, but what sort of thing should I be looking for? Should I re-run the/a X config. app. [and which one is recommended nowadays]?


I'm guessing that if I boot up to init level 3 the keyboard will still work in the console, but I need to check that.

Most of the USB-keyboard google matches I've found suggest that once I'm past the install problem, the USB keyboard will 'just work' - but it doesn't.

Will booting with a PS/2 kbd plugged in and then again with the USB one be picked up by kudzu and re-jig the config. enough?
