[solved] Xorg 1.8.1 + FGLRX Mouse and keyboard don't work...

Beginning this week i installed Arch linux for the first time (several times infact) and i followed the installtion guide to get gnome working on my machine...
pacman -Sy
pacman -S xorg
pacman -S gnome gnome-system-tools gnome-extra gdm gksu
I also added the "fuse usblp" and " fam hal" entries to /etc/rc.conf in their respective sections as decribed there.
When i would reboot and type gdm the system would start up and i could configure everything else, but after reinstalling this morning this no longer works because the xorg got upgraded to a new version.
When i type gdm or startx in complains that "vesa" has no modes, so i installed and configure the fglrx drivers from the pacman source.
Now comes the actual problem, when i now type gdm or startx i get the graphical enviroment but my keyboard and mouse do not work and the computer is frozen.
I tried going to a diffirent tty but it won't take those commands either.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be ? i do not understand what is wrong....
The Solution - Because the vesa driver didn't work i installed fglrx and i deleted this folder called /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d as i had never seen it before and figured that i didn't need it if xorg.conf was present.
Leaving the folder intact solved the problem
it was a noobish mistake from a beginner, sorry folks

USB mouse and keyboard don't work on HP Pavilion g7 2203sd, Windows 8.1.

It is not possible to use a USB mouse or keyboard on the HP Pavilion g7 2203sd notebook running Windows 8.1.
A wireless mouse used to work (already some time ago), but now wired or wireless mouse and keyboard don't work any more.
I have tried removing USB devices in the Windows Device Manager and let Windows detect them again, but it does not work.
I read somewhere that it might have to do with the xHCI USB controller that is installed.
I tried removing that and connecting the USB mouse but no succes.
I also looked for driver updates or something to disbale in the BIOS (like xHCI), but nothing found for that.
Can anybody help me with this problem.
Thanks!

Wireless Mouse and Keyboard don't work under bootcamp. Any suggestions?

I installed Windows 7 through Boot Camp. Everything works, but my wireless mouse and keyboard. If I add a wired mouse and keyboard, they work. Have reinstalled Bootcamp a few times, but when I try and add the devices. they are seen, but then can't pair.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well, the 'unplugged' reference was noted earlier and I wasn't sure if you'd get a
better response than a standard suggestion to try the other ideas in this link first
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
before actually performing the SMC, that is a dragnet kind of catch-all, sometimes.
All of my keyboard & mouse units are USB and I've gone as far as supplying the
mouse and other peripherals with a powered USB hub; so power from the Mac
isn't spread too thin. The keyboard is one of the only items that should be attached
to the USB port; as it has to work on startup pre-boot keyboard shortcuts... Such
as SafeBoot, PRAM reset, and others where you need a live keyboard and BT
may not be up to the task of being ready. Three going on four of my Macs have
bluetooth capabilities for those items; but I can't justify the continual upkeep cost.
Spare USB keyboards and a few extra mouse are handy as troubleshooting tools, too.
There are some USB keyboard references among search results in this linked page:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Apple+USB+keyboard+troubleshooting
Perhaps the SMC pre-reset suggestions may help resolve the issue, if not, try reset.
Good luck & happy computing!

Thinkpad t42 mouse and keyboard don't work after factory reset

I get to the system preperation tool 2.0 but i cant click or select anything . Same thing happens if i turn the machine on and go into safe mode - the keyboard works to select safe mode but when I get to safe mode they both don't work. they both work if i go into the IBM recovery menu.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi DK,
If you are using the Rescue and Recovery to reload Windows, you should never see the "SysPrep 2.0" appear. Are you using the orignal recovery CDs to reload windows or booting from the F11 partition? To fix this problem, I would simply start the process of reinstalling Windows again.
Go to this website and follow the guide for Using Rescue and Recovery to Recover your OS
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70803
If you are still seeing the "System Preparation Tool 2.0" after reloading Windows, do the following:
Step 1: Under the "Options" box, make sure the following are checked:
"Don't reset grace period for activation"
"Use Mini-Setup
"Don't regenerate security identifiers"
Step 2: In the drop down menu for "Shutdown mode", change this setting to "Quit"
Step 3: Click the "Reseal" button
This should resolve your issue. Be sure to reload the OS using R&R FIRST before doing the above steps.
Regards,
Mark

After catalyst 10.10 / xorg 1.9 update, mouse and keyboard don't work

Hi guys,
Yesterday I got the new catalyst update together with the new xorg server, but after rebooting and starting x, I neither could move the mouse nor press short cuts.
I have reinstalled xf86-input-evdev and xorg-input-drivers, but still same issue.
How to fix this?
Edit: Solution: remove [xorg18] repo from /etc/pacman.conf
Thanks

Macbook pro mouse and keyboard don't work after installing drivers. Help!

I just installed windows XP SP2 on a macbook pro 2.66 i7 running 10.6.4. I installed the boot camp drivers from my OSX install disk and now neither keyboard, trackpad, nor usb mouse work. Not sure what to do other than delete the partition and start over. Any help is much appreciated!

I have the exact same problem with the same two operating systems and the same exact computer. Needless to say, I would also love to get an answer to this question.

Touchsmart 520-1047c Mouse and Keyboard will not work after sleep mode

I have an issue which I need some help with. When my computer goes to sleep the wireless mouse and keyboard will not work unless I restart, however each one will wake the system up but will not operate after that. I have tried just making the display go to sleep, both go to sleep but that makes no difference same issue occurs. The only work around I have found is going into the power settings and turning the sleep mode off for booth the computer and display. This does not solve the problem it just masks it. New batteries, unplugged and replugged the dongle, updated the bios and all drivers. Don't know what else to try. Anybody know how to fix this? Thank you in advance for your help.

It sounds like it is time to restore from the backups you made just before making the disk changes.
You can re-partition and restore your backups. If you didn't make backups first (you were warned that it might damage things and to make sure you had a good backup) then you will need to repartition everything and reinstall from scratch...

My touchpad and keyboard don't work.

When I turn on my computer, my touchpad and keyboard don't work, and only the touchscreeen seems to function properly. It only turns on after a good ten or fifteen minutes. I have had to use a mouse.

hey maybe this link http://www.ubuntuask.com/q/answers-touc … 89324.html will help you, for me reloading the kernel module for the mouse with "modprobe -r psmouse" and "modprobe psmouse" did the trick.

Tried to install foo2zjs and now PS/2 mouse and keyboard won't work

I was trying to install the foo2zjs tarball from their website and after doing so, I lost the usage of my PS/2 mouse and keyboard in X.
The keyboard works fine outside of X, but once X starts, it can't see it. Other input devices are working fine, like my USB game controller.
I deleted all the /etc/X11 and /etc/xinited* files and removed xorg xorg-drivers and reinstalled them and no hope.
The keyboard and mouse were being detected automatically, and I never had to edit anything for them to work, so why are they not working now?
I even removed foo2zjs and disabled the CUPS daemon and still no hope.
Any idea how I can debug this any further?

Turns out it was this problem https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117274, I must've upgraded udev while installing the printer driver.
Unplugging and replugging my keyboard made it work, but not the mouse. Maybe because it's the PS/2 thing. Anyway, downgrading the two packages solved the two issues.

External mouse and keyboard no longer work after 10.8.5 upgrade

Today I upgraded from OSX 10.8.4 to 10.8.5 on my macbook pro 17". This upgrade caused by external mouse and keyboard to completely stop working. I tried installing the 10.8.5 "combo" install (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1676) and also tried resetting the PRAM, but neither action had any effect.
I also tried restoring to an older time machine backup with 10.8.4, but could only figure out how to restore files, not the entire system.
I've lost a day of work at this point, I need help... How can I get back to 10.8.4 or get the mouse/keyboard working again on 10.8.5??

Try booting into the Safe Mode. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application uninstaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Bluetooth mouse and keyboard do not work

I purchased an iMac G5 about 6 months ago. I got it with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I have had trouble with it from day 1. Apple had me replace the logic unit, and it worked for a couple of weeks. Then as soon as the 90-day warranty for complimentary service ran out, it began working sporadically. Now it doesn't work at all. It says I don't have a bluetooth module installed or attached to my computer (which is what it said before the logic unit was replaced. The computer works fine with a USB mouse and keyboard. Had I known bluetooth was so tempermental and difficult, I sure wouldn't have got it with my computer.
Unless there is a smart person out there who knows what is going on, I guess I need to buy a new USB keyboard and mouse. Anybody interested in buying a bluetooth keyboard and mouse cheap?

Russell,
The warranty period on your mac is 1 year. The complimentry phone service period is 90 days unless you have a hardware problem. I'd say you likely have a hardware problem and will not be charged for the phone call.
I'd suggest 2 things:
1. Sign up for Applecare as has been recommended countless times.
2. Make the call to tech support and see what they say about your problem.
Good Luck,
John

Bluetooth Mouse and keyboard STILL Not working can someone help me?

i have an apple Bluetooth Keyboard and wireles mighty mouse. Since i have installed leopard months ago it was working fine but then my mouse and keyboard stopped pairing with my Powerbook it recognises the devices but the refuse to pair i changed the batteries and installed the software that cam ith the keyboard and mouse and still nothing works.
Can someone help me please

After updating to 10.5.2 I am still experiencing problems with my Apple wireless mouse and keyboard. This is a Leopard issue ( here is just one blog on the topic
http://aralbalkan.com/1086 ) in 2005 I purchased a Mac Mini which I love and never experienced a Bluetooth problem till I installed Leopard several months ago, now at least once a week, on average 2-3 times a week, I loose connection with the keyboard or the mouse and it takes awhile to re-establish the connection. I was hoping the last upgrade would address this issue but no such luck.

After reinstall my magic mouse and keyboard are not working properly

i have a 2008 24' imac

Hi
It is not easy to say much about this issue.
Do you use wireless devices? Are batteries OK?
Have you noticed the same problem using other USB devices?
I presume both devices uses USB port on your notebook.

Booting problem, mouse and keyboard doesn't work for 2 minutes

I got a brand new mac mini 2.4Ghz just 3 weeks ago, got a few problems over the last week that I've been able to fix, but now I'm stuck with a problem when booting. The booting process seems a bit slow, and once the desktop has been fully loaded, the keyboard and mouse doesn't work, and the computer is using the non-calibrated Display Profile. After about 2 minutes, the display profile change to calibrated, and the mouse and keyboard work again. I have no clue about how to fix that problem, and I'm thinking about bringing the computer to an Apple Store by tomorrow if I can't fix it.
