[parisc-linux] 712/60, kernel 2.4.6 and keyboard.

[Jari Eskelinen]

Hi!

I have 712/60 machine and I have used 2.4.0-pa30 kernel with it with great success. Today I tried to compile 2.4.6-pa11 kernel (cross-compiling with my P800, it was horrible sloooooow with 721/60 :) and it almost succeeded. Everything else works, but PS/2 keyboard won't just work. Nothing comes to screen when typing. Logging from network works as usual. Kernel seems to recognise keyboard:

PS/2 keyboard controller at 0xf0108000 (irq 69) found, device attached.
Lasi PS/2 wait 3734
PS/2 psaux controller at 0xf0108100 (irq 69) found, device attached.

But it won't work. Mouse works fine, I can login if playing with mouse and gpm (cut r, paste, cut o, paste paste, cut t, paste, cut return, paste etc.) :D

Have anybody similiar experiences and most importantly, can anybody tell how to solve ths problem?

Thanks!

For the moment, my conclusion is that gsc_ps2_kbd_ops are not
registered. That's why you should not have the leds working on your
keyboard too. If you want the keyboard working, you can add a little
hack but it is NOT the best solution.

In drivers/char/hp_psaux.c:
You have
switch (id) {
	case 0:	
	   	register_kbd_ops(&gsc_ps2_kbd_ops);
		break;
	case 1:
And, you can put this:
switch (id) {
	case 0:	
->		inited++;
	   	register_kbd_ops(&gsc_ps2_kbd_ops);
		break;
	case 1:

Agian, this is not a permanent solution, Thomas

Known problem, try unplugging and replugging the keyboard, while the
system is running.  Works for some people.
