This report is very timely. I'm not sure if it also applies on my case. Anyways, here it is: I've created a stripped down (practically removing binaries and libs that I don't need) XF86-4.4.0 environment. It's now less than 20Mb and it works (intermittently). My problem is with a USB keyboard. Most of the time, the whole system starts (up to automatically loading X) with no problem. But at times, X starts without keyboard support. And similar to the other report, only my USB mouse works. When this problem happened, I telneted into the machine, did an `lsmod`, and all USB modules seem to be loaded properly. I did a hot-plug/remove on the USB KB, and the instance is reflected properly on /var/log/messages. So this means that the USB modules + KB are working fine. Then I terminated X from telnet, and went back to direct I/O control, and it is evident that the keyboard is indeed working fine as I am able to type directly to the console. Now, upon restarting X once more (startx), I noticed that the KB is once again crippled in the X environment. I did a check on my /var/log/XFree86.0.log already and can't find any clues. Additional info: My hardware is a GX2+CS5535-based SBC. So I'm using the new "nsc" driver. My KB problem seem to be intermittently evident when I'm using the "nsc" driver. I also tried "vesa" and "fbdev" on this same hardware and did not encounter any KB problems on X. The last two modules however can't do a 1280x1024 24bpp on my hardware. Also, I had a report (just yesterday) on the "nsc" driver's failure to restore an fbcon environment upon exiting/terminating X, and gathered no replies (most likely because GX2 is new). I'm currently investigating further these GX2 issues that *may* be rooted with the "nsc" driver. Any help, input, tips are greately appreciated.
