[parisc-linux] x windows keybord problem on 715/33

[Dimitris Zilaskos]

 Hello ,

I am trying to setup X windows in an 715/33 . I can start various Windows
managers like wdm and xdm , but i cant get keys 'i' and 'o' to work (
they work ok in console ).All other keys work ok .

 I have the following lines in the XF86Config

   Option "XkbdRules" "xfree86"
   Option "XkbModel" "hphil"


 and in my  /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86:
     hp = xfree86 pc(pc104)
     hphil = hp(hil) hp(hil)

 I am running 2.4.18-pa41 . Newer kernels till 54 either freeze my
keyboard or have ksoftirqd consume 100% cpu ( or both) . I am using a
serial  mouse for X . It works  most of the time but sometines the pointer
stops moving untill I press a key . Work ok under console though .

 Any advice how to make 'o' and 'i'  work ?

 Regards ,

I had the same symptoms with a german ps2 keyboard on a 712, just with other
keys beeing dead (<, > and |).

xev showed that X is getting keycodes from those keys, but they were
not alligned.
I changed the keycodes in /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86 according to the
ones xev reported. I guess in your case you would have to change them to:

<AD08> = code reported for i
<AD09> = code reported for o

Could also be that the cause for your dead keys is another 
and this hint totally useless.

Hi Dimitris,

please read ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/XFree86/HILkeyb/README

In any case I would suggest you update to a newer kernel.
HIL mice are now supported, and you won't have any bigger problems 
on the console or under X. Just be sure to create the /dev/input/*
device nodes as described in the FAQ entry no. 12 at 
http://www.parisc-linux.org/faq/index.html

The 100% cpu usage for softirqd is a known problem, but
it's just cosmetics and will not slower your machine.
I think we will fix this buglet in the future.

Greetings,
Helge
