Can't use keyboard under GDM

i installed the Xorg and make my touchpad and keyboard worked under X,
then i installed the gnome and gdm.
when i entered GDM ,the touchpad was working but not the keyboard.
What can i do with this?
Arch on ASUS W7J

Make sure you've got xf86-input-evdev installed. That may help you out. It installed as an xorg dependency on my machine, but apparently some people are missing it and have to do it manually.

2011 MBP can't use keyboard or trackpad or external devices following installation of usb prober.

First, I was having trouble with a USB mouse, so I went looking for information about troubleshooting that.
Someone suggested installing USB Prober, which I found and attempted to install.
The installation asked for a restart, so I restarted.
At login screen, I can't use keyboard, mouse (trackpad), or any USB devices.
I'm able to use key combinations at the beginning of boot, so I reset PRAM and NVRAM or whatever they are.
I was able to use key combinations to boot into my Windows partition, and into single-user mode, and into safe mode, and verbose mode.
--Using the Windows partition appears to be useless for fixing the Mac problems, as far as I can see, since I can't modify the filesystem that way.
--In single-user and safe modes, I still can't use the keyboard or mouse.
I found this discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4021048?start=0&tstart=0
But that discussion reached no conclusion, and as I said, I tried that one user's suggestion already.
Super frustrated; please be charitable and save my sorry butt.
regards,
herpaferpaderp..afjppr-alurp

No; no no; I don't need the developer forum--I'm not trying to use USB Prober. For all I care, I don't need the USB ports right now. Forget them and the stupid tool, and being unable to use the stupid tool.
I just want to be able to use the keyboard and trackpad, as I was able to before installing the stupid tool.
If you can, help me make everything the way it was before the developer tool. Without going to 781 forums in 36 languages and as many hours. My brain is puny and will implode.

Flash player on the new mac sarafi can't use keyboard and event listener

flash player on the new mac sarafi can't use keyboard and event listener
cn:英文有些差不好意思，附上中文说明：在flash player web 开发时，我在最新版本的sarafi上，目前出现不能响应键盘事件bug,为了验证是不是我本地问题，我也用在多款别的网页游戏上进行测试，全有这个bug，另外，有时还有那个fp弹出本地缓存提示设置窗口也点不了“允许或拒绝“那些按钮

Now after 5 weeks, you have always not resolved this very important and urgent issue. It seems that Adobe has realy abandonned the actionscript / flash player projects. Why not simply discontinue flash player on desktops too ? Or even better remove or block "automaticaly" all flash players with the final update. That could create a serious issue on the Internet for few weeks but at least that will be honorable end like a Samurai's Seppuku...

[PROBLEM SOLVED] After last update, Can't use keyboard in Xorg

Apparently the last system upgrade installed "xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2-1-i686" but I reverted back to "xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.1-1-i686" and everything is working again.
Lesson learned: put all xorg related packages to hold because my geforce2 mx440 won't need updates.
This is just frustrating. After doing a system upgrade (which upgraded xorg to version 1.5) I can't use the keyboard anymore. In fact, my screen would freeze also, as long as I was using the latest Xorg version. This machine's card is a geforce2 mx440.
So I downgraded xorg-server with pacman -Rd xorg-server and pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-yadayada1.4yadayada; Fine, I can use the mouse and open X just as normal as before. BUT the keyboard seems helpless.

Perhaps you can find some help here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … otplugging (or in one of the many threads about xorg 1.5 breaking input devices)
No Idea about your problem after downgrading (expect just as a guess, there is some problem with xbinkeys when it is autostarted with the window manager -- http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65468).

I can't use keyboard in firefox

Locking duplicate thread. Please continue here: [[/questions/1001917]]
it happens when i typed one word many times 
a dilague box appears with the options yes or no 
i press no 
taaadaaa i can't use my keyboard

Hehe thanks for that, but I'm coming at this from the angle of not having a mouse to do that. I realise the obvious answer then is to plug one in, but I'm hoping there's another, keyboard-based way to do this.
In IE, the Flash player is considered a part of the page like any other, and pressing Tab a few times to cycle through all the Flash buttons will then return you to the rest of the page - is there no similar method in Firefox?

Windows doesn't have the ability to use both GPUs, so you can use only the dedicated GPU. Unfortunately, there's no fix for this

Can´t use keyboard and trackpad at all.

I have a macbook pro early 2008.It was good for sometime but nowadays it is facing some problems in it.When I start it sometimes it works good but sometimes when I use it, suddenly the keyboard an trackpad stop working and I should connect an external mouse and restart it.Sometimes it is OK but sometimes it happens 10 times a day.Can anybody please help m with this situation this computer has a great value to me.

Run an Apple Hardware Test and see if that picks up any useful information, or take it to a repair facility for an evaluation. Unfortunately intermittent problems are sometimes very difficult to diagnose.

Photoshop "can't use product under guest account"?

I just bought Photoshop 12 today, downloaded it and everything, and now that I'm going to start editing some photos it says "Cannot use this product under a guest account". I am the administrator account so I'm confused?
Has anyone had this problem? If so, what can I do? I would like to start using this ASAP, I have a lot of photos to edit and I just spent the money on this!!

You should really post in the PSE forum at http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
Did you activate and register it?
But this could also be an OS isue. You should state which you are using. Do a web search for permission issue on your OS.

Can't use keyboard with google voice after 1.3.1 update

Prior to 1.3.1, when I received a call via Google Voice, when prompted with the option to "1 take the call, 2 send to voicemail etc" I could just slide out the keyboard and hit which ever number I wanted. Now, (after 1.3.1) the keyboard seems unresponsive, and I must manually: 1) switch to keypad view 2) select the key I want.
Is anybody else experiencing this? Or has anybody already filed a grievance under the feature request section of the Palm site?
Thanks!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Hi there,
I am getting voice prompts to: "press 1 to take the call, press 2 to send to voice mail etc". My "1" key works just fine. It is more the delay in my ability to use it that is different between 1.2.1 and 1.3.1
Previously, I could press the key and it would work right away. I could pick up the call, or send to voicemail, etc.
Now, I press it and nothing happens, however, by the time the voice prompt returns to repeat my options, my keyboard starts to work..
I hope that's more clear!
Thanks!

How can I use SignalExpress under Linux?

We have just acquired some Tektronix 1001B oscilloscopes and we are trying to use SignalExpress with a computer working under Linux. How can we do this? Do we need any drivers/special configuration?
Thank you very much.

HI Noelia,
Unfortunatelly Signal Express is only for windows platforms, there is no version for Linux.

If your running 10.6.8, can you use keyboard that says it for 10.2.x-10.5.x?

I want to get a keyboard but i dont know if it will work. Im new to Mac's so idk too much yet.

Well, that depends. If the product uses a proprietary driver, then the driver may not be compatible with a future version of OS X. If possible stick to products that do not rely on proprietary drivers. Ask the mfgr.'s tech support before you make a purchase. Some if not most USB keyboards should be fine, but BlueTooth keyboards could be a different matter.
Logitech keyboards use special drivers that can become incompatible with later versions of OS X, but they have been reliable supporters of the Mac. So has MacAlley. Check with OWC to see if they vend keyboards. Usually they know what works and what doesn't.
