Keyboard and gfx issues after switching to xf86-video-radeonhd

After recently switching from an nVidia gfx card to a ATI Radeon HD2400, I instaled xf86-video-radeonhd driver. I noticed several issues that I haven't experienced before:
1. Keyboard frequently repeat a keystroke that I only pressed once (e.g. aaaaarch when i type arch)
2. Keyboard frequently skip keystrokes when I type fast (e.g. "achlinx rcks" when i type "archlinux rocks")
3. After X11 starts, if I try to switch to virtual console (ctrl+alt+F1), the system freezes and turns zombie. This combined with my recently switch to ext4 had caused more than enough data loss.
4. I hav a dual monitor setup, one of them needs 59.9Hz refresh rate, and the other needs 60.0Hz  refresh rate. If I configure the monitor as right-of or left-of in xorg.conf, xrandr always gets the refresh rate wrong. I have to manually issue xrandr commands.
I noticed that my keyboard got recognized twice in Xorg.log, Could this have caused 1) and 2)?//

Hate to reply to my own thread. But the keyboard problem has been solved by moving the keyboard to a different port. Apparently not all ports behind the workstation are 2.0 ports? Funny this was never a problem before until I switch to a radeon gfx card.

  • Radius L10W-B keyboard and mouse issues

    Hello, I have just purchased a Toshiba Satelite Radius L10W-B notebook less then a day ago, and am exeriancing SERIOUS keyboard and mouse issues, Juts after purchasinng this notebook, after converting it to tablet mode and back to notebok mode, the keyboard and mouse was NON existant for over 4 hours, DID NOT WORK AT ALL. I took it back to the reseller and ofcourse as soon as I tried to show the issue, all worked fine. Now, I have massive latency issues with both keyboard and mouse. The keyboard misses key strokes in almost every 8 keys. I get 1 missed keystroke in every 8 keys pressed when typing, and these are not typos, just absolutely nothing, thyre absolute misses all togeather. This make for alot of retyping and backspacing etc etc. also, the mouse is disabled for about 3 seconds after tying, then snaps back into action. This means when typing and switching to the mouse reasonably fast, the mouse is non responsive for about 1 second which is fairly irretating. This email took over 20 minutes to write, for this exact reason. Im sure this is not normal. I really love this notebook in every other aspect, however these issues just make it plain ususuable. Any ideas? Thanks!  

    Peter,
    thanks for the reply. However im convinced this is hardware related! While I really hope not, Ive tried all solutions posted by others.
    It simply seems the keyboard is poor quality and the rest of the laptop is awesome!
    I really hope im wrong! But its my gut feeling
    Ill try give them a call but not holding my breath.

  • Keyboard and trackpad freeze after being idle for a few minutes

    I have a early 2008 MBP and just today the keyboard and trackpad freeze after not using it for a few minutes.  I was at work when it happened.  I plugged it in and started doing something else and a few minutes later came back and i couldn't move the mouse or do anything with the keyboard, but processes were still running.  For example, I have a fan speed app that sits in the toolbar, and it was still showing current fan speed.  So I restarted it, and it did it again.  So the next time it happened, I closed the lid and opened it up and it fixed it.  It's happened several times now after a few minutes of non use and I just close the lid and it fixes it.  Also, there was a period when I was using my computer for a couple of hours non stop and it didn't have a problem.  Only when I'm not touching the keyboard or trackpad does it do it.  since this keeps happening i have verified the disk in disk utility, done a hardware reset with cmd+opt+p+r, ran through system profiler to see if there were any problems with no results, and it still does it.  Anyone have any ideas?
    It should be noted that not only does the battery not work for more than about 2 minutes, the left I/O board appears to be dying.  The power chord takes a considerable amount of wiggling and adjusting before it finds a place where it will actually charge. The audio out and the USB on that side are the same way. So I am aware of that problem. Also, I have had to take out the right side fan multiple times and disassemble and oil the bearing because it's going bad, which requires taking the top plate off, but I haven't had to do that for over 6 months. In my mind if the problem was caused by taking the top plate off, that would fry the entire top plate, which happened once when a technitian at a local company took the computer apart for a waranty repair.  All of these problems considered, I don't think they would have anything to do with the fact that the mouse and keyboard suddenly won't work after about 5-10 minutes of sitting idle. I have done nothing different since yesterday that would explain why it does this. 
    Also, I can't do anything with the install disk because the CD drive is dead.  But that's mostly because it was a piece of garbage to begin with.
    Any Ideas would be helpful.

    After doing some more digging I was watching processes in Activity Monitor to see if I could see what process is failing.  I think the problem with with Chrome. It only happened when Chrome was open. And since then I reinstalled it and the problem has so far gone away.  So, I think the problems is solved. 

  • Elite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update

    DElite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update <font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="4">Elite Pro CMSS-3D control (on I/O console)no longer controls CMSS-3D.
    The only time it works is if the original drivers are installed from the installation CD.
    ANY other drivers stop the control on the Elite Pro I/O console from having any effect on CMSS-3D.
    Also at one time when I cotrolled volume, CMSS-3D(original drivers), EAX and Crystalizer from the Elite Pro I/O controls then I had on screen display of said control that was being moved(on I/O console).
    Now regardless of what drivers are installed, there?are no longer any on screen indicators.
    The indicators looked like the ones that show when using the remote controller.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Keyboard and trackpad unresponsive after sleep

    I've had this problem a few times since I got a refurbished MBA a few weeks ago.
    In preferences, I have it set to require a password when waking up. Most of the time, this goes fine, but sometimes I get the login screen with my username and the cursor blinking in the password field, but there is no response when I touch the keyboard or try to use the trackpad. I try pressing every key and combination I can think of, including the Force Quit combo (cmd-opt-esc). Nothing.
    It also sometimes just has a black screen, and again nothing I do causes any response. In those cases, if I close the lid and then reopen it after a few seconds, I get the login screen, but the keyboard and trackpad don't work.
    The only solution has been to turn it off and on again with the power switch, which is obviously not the most efficient way to wake up a sleeping computer.
    Any suggestions?

    Try resetting your SMC and PRAM.

  • I915 power consumption issue after switch to systemd?

    After switching to systemd I noticed a massive increase of power consumption on my Thinkpad X220 (i5 Sandy Bridge).
    The strange thing is, that after some reboots it randomly seems to catch the i915 power saving mode and the consumption gets from ~24W to ~7W at idle. But only after several reboots.
    Adding the good old i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 to the boot parameters doesn't make any differences. But looking at the powertop detail outputs it seems to be a i915 issue.
    Using the latest linux kernel from core (3.6.4) and latest intel drivers (2.20.12).

    I started to get suspicious because I have only ever had the issue in my office. Last week, when I encrypted my drive, my machine wrote to disk for more than 14 hours solid. I then did all the set up and all the restoring from backup etc. with no issue whatsoever. Lenovo ran the thing for 48 hours straight with no problem. But once in my office...
    So I asked the local IT people if they could think of anything other than overheating and explained the issue. They took my laptop yesterday , booted it from a hardware testing CD and ran it for a couple of hours sitting on top of a hot computer in the server room which is definitely hot. (It has a whole bunch of computers, I guess.) No issue. They then ran stress tests for a while in the same place. No problem. Highest recorded temp: 65C.
    The head of IT then took my power adapter to a more general IT service to be tested and inspected. They looked at it, they opened the plug to check the fuse, they tested it. No problem. Of course, the guy also explained why he was asking and the other IT person said, "Oh, is that on level 1?" "Yes..." So apparently there was another machine (a Mac), I think, doing just the same thing in an office in my part of the building. Testing showed that the power spikes and when the power spikes, the laptop shut down as a safety measure. Solution: they installed a UPS for that one laptop. They didn't tell anybody else, including the local IT people.
    What the local IT people were going to do was to install equipment to monitor the power in my office and see if anything weird was causing my laptop to react. However, that was when this was an extremely-unlikely-but-we-are-getting-desperate-for-theories scenario. Clearly, that theory no longer seems wildly implausible at all. So the current hypothesis is that it is most likely that my machine is also reacting to the spikes in power by shutting itself off. (I'm not sure why it should have just started doing this but who knows what the state of the electricals is and how that might vary?)
    I have been told that a surge protector will do no good. (They've given me one anyway but apparently it will not deal with spikes in phase 3 power or something - I didn't understand this bit but the head IT person said he didn't understand it either but the electricals IT person showed him with graphs on the whiteboard. So it must be true.)
    The current plan is to try to get the UPS from central IT which was provided for the other laptop since that person's discipline has since moved to another floor of the building so the UPS probably went back to central IT. They are going to ask during a meeting tomorrow about this possibility. Otherwise, they are planning to order a UPS for me on Monday.
    I'm somewhat surprised that the abrupt shutdowns haven't screwed my data. I've lost work but not seen fs corruption. I didn't take my laptop today. I'll need it next week but I do not plan to plug it in in my office until I have a UPS.
    I'm pretty annoyed, to be honest. I've wasted hours on this and got incredibly stressed about it. The IT people have also wasted a (smaller) amount of time. I hoped to have a new draft of an article I'm working on written by the end of reading week but that didn't happen due to all of this. And they *knew*. It would be different if this was an unknown problem just discovered - of course, one could understand that. But there's a known problem which can cause this type of problem and presumably could well damage equipment without these sorts of safety shutdown features and they don't tell anybody.
    And, no, I doubt very much indeed that a damaged personal machine would be considered the institution's liability. (Maybe if it was a student's machine and the student was required to use it or something but even then...)
    I can't believe it does much good to their equipment either.
    The local IT people did know there was an issue with some burnt out devices but that was about eight years ago and only got mentioned as a outside possibility when other diagnostics turned up no result.
    What gets me is that the proposed solution will only solve the issue for me - not for anybody else in my part of the building on level 1.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - Keyboard and touchpad issues

    Hi
    I have just baught my GF a refurbed Toshiba laptop for her 21st birthday from a reliable source, its a Satellite Pro L300.
    I started it up did all the setup stuff it told me to only to find that the touchpad and keyboard will not work AT ALL.
    The keyboard caps lock key doesn't even light up when I press it,
    I've downloaded all the latest drivers for EVERYTHING inc. the touchpad, this has made no difference,
    I'm running out of ideas fast and coming to terms with the fact that the keyboard and touchpad might be faulty and as a result ill have to give my GF a faulty laptop for hewr 21st, not happy :(
    Does any1 have any ideas?
    Thanks :)
    Edit: OK, very odd, right after i sent this message i tried the keyboard one more time and it works fine?
    Could it be something 2 do with the downloading of the VAP package?
    The touch pad is still knackered even when i try the fn + f9 combo?
    2nd Edit: Ok now the keyboard has stopped working again!
    WHAT ON EARTH!?

    Hi
    Looks like a keyboard issue. who knows why it doesnt work looks like something would be wrong
    I recommend visiting your dealer and asking for replacement
    Otherwise you could contact the ASP in your country for a fix
    I think this is everything what you could do
    Good luck

  • Keyboard shortcuts problem issue after updating to 6.0.5

    Directly after installing this update, Command+SpaceBar on the Mac no  longer temporarily selects the zoom tool?  Not sure what others keyboard  shortcuts might be broken, but this is a very standard one.  I have a book due on Monday!!!  Any help  would be appreciated?  Thanks!
    Not sure if related, but my computer started lagging and freezing  directly after installing this update, and continues to the next day,  even after repairing permissions, trashing prefernces, trashing SavedData cache, etc.

    That totally fixed the shortcut issue!! Fixed in InDesign and Illustrator.   Will keep you posted on the computer lagging and freezing issue.  Our IT guy thinks it may have something to do the Adobe Updater itself.  But we'll see....  thanks so much!

  • Ultraslim Plus keyboard and mouse issues with windows 8.1 (hesitation/jerkiness)

    I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues with their Ultrslim Plus keyboard and mouse after the update to windows 8.1? Mine seems very hesitant missing lots of key presses and the mouse pointers movement accross the screen  is jerky. I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers but it still isn't working like it was yesterday. Batteries for both show as 100% and nothing else has changed.
    Solved!

    My mistake. I'd installed version 1.5, the updated version 1.8 (specifically mentions windows 8.1 on download link) works perfectly.

  • Windows 8.1 Ent. Helix - Keyboard and touchpad issues (device code 43)

    System:
    Helix 3701XXX
    Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit
    Third Apps installed
    Latest Lenovo Drivers installed
    Problem:
    Keyboard and Touchpad on the keyboard dock intermittently stops working altogether. The UltraNav pointing device also reports device code 43. The user is unable to type or move mouse cursor. Sometimes the touchscreen will also not work when this problem occurs. The problem has been reported by 3+ users/systems. Some users also experience "Keyboard Fan Dock error" which may or may not be attributing to this issue.
    When it occurs:
    The problem is intermittent; it often occurs after waking the system up from sleep. As a workaround, the user has to restart the system a couple to several times in order for the device to be recognized. User also experiencing this issue without UltraNav installed.
    Any advice from Lenovo staff or others experiencing this would be appreciated.

    users at my organization are experiencing device issues indicated in this Lenovo solution article; the solution in the article points to the latest drivers being the solution; however, the users are still running into these USB device errors with the latest USB hub/keyboard drivers/fw.

  • Bluetooth keyboard and mouse issue

    I have a 20" Aluminium iMac with the bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Recently i've started to have some issues where the keyboard keeps disconnecting & reconnecting, also the mouse going slow and jerky. They have been working perfectly fine for the past year but only recently started to play up. I have gone into bluetooth prefs and deleted them and re-connected, this seemed to be a temporary fix but after a while it started again, although not as bad as before. I usually leave my Mac on all the time and just put it in sleep mode, the issue now seems to be waking it from sleep as well. I have tried restarts and re pairing as i said before but nothing seems to be solving the issue. Any ideas or fixes would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Some issues after switching from 686 to x86_64

    Hi all,
    after switching from i686 to x86_64 using this link I am now facing some minor issues with some packages. I already activated the multilib repository but some problems remain. I checked the binaries in /usr/bin for 32 bit executables as described in the above link and there are 177 "bad" binaries left. I thought all of these were not executable, but surprisingly wine was. Strange!
    ffmpeg is another 32 bit executable and not runnable. So I tried to reinstall it, but that failed:
    > pacman -S ffmpeg
    warning: ffmpeg-1:2.6.1-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
    resolving dependencies...
    looking for conflicting packages...
    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
    :: ffmpeg-compat: requires libx264.so=144-32
    libx264 is installed and didn't want to be reinstalled either:
    > pacman -S libx264
    warning: libx264-2:144.20150223-1 is up to date -- reinstalling

    :: ffmpeg: requires libx264.so=144-32
    :: ffmpeg-compat: requires libx264.so=144-32
    Can someone give me a hint, what's the best way to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance, Zmann

    I think the first issue you will run in to is that the interface for an old P4 hdd will probably not be the same as a new computer.  Besides that, it will probably be vastly slower than what comes with a new computer.  I think that is not the best idea.
    The only wat to really "trasition" between two archtectures that I know of is to copy configuration files over and have pacman dump a list of explicitly installed packages from the main repos.  Then use that information to reinstall all those packages.

Maybe you are looking for
