Laptop keyboard does not work

[Martin Ivanov]

Hello, Michael,
thank you very much for your reply. Sorry for not replying to you earlier.
Actuall, yesterday we solved the problem in the irc chat. Pierre-Alain
TORET (daftaupe) told me to set kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=3. I now have this
added to /etc/sysctl.conf and my laptop keyboard works. No need for an
external USB keyboard any more.

I am not sure if trying the master branch would make this configuration
unnecessary? So far everything works all right, I finally have a fully
working DragonflyBSD XFCE desktop.

Best regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,

My experience with evdev was that X11 does not recognize it as of 6.4, as
kern.features.evdev sysctl is missing. Still, your keyboard *should* work
without evdev - I really believe this is a configuration issue. Can you
please again attach the full xorg.conf file that you are currently using?
As Peeter mentioned,  you have a typo in your xorg.conf.

As for evdev: Can you somehow try out the current HEAD revision from git?
You'd have to recompile the world and kernel :)

Regards,

Michael

Hello, Peter,

thank you very much for your reply. I did that, but the keyboard still
doesn't work.
So long as I see, the libinput and evdev drivers are loaded but that does
not help, unfortunately.
I am attaching my current xorg.conf as well as the Xorg.0. log file.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Best regards,
Martin

Hello

The standard and preferred way now is to use the evdev input system.
This means you should use the libinput driver for both keyboard and
mouse. See the xorg.conf I attached to the previous email thread as an
example, it has both filled in with the libinput driver; you can just
copy them over into your xorg.conf. Also ensure you have the following
packages installed:

- libinput
- xf86-input-libinput
- libevdev
- py39-evdev

Note that you have a syntax error ("Keeyboard0" v "Keyboard0") in your
xorg.conf.

Best

Peeter
