[Bug 889226] Re: X fails to correctly find my USB input devices

 

Hi Steve,

In the Xorg.1.log file I'm seeing:

and

A HID and keyboard appear to be getting mapped to event13 and event14.
A PS/2 USB mouse is on event9.

Later there's this error:

[267355.695] (EE) Unable to open evdev device "/dev/input/event13".
[267355.716] [dix] couldn't enable device 16
[267355.716] (EE) Unable to open evdev device "/dev/input/event14".
[267355.716] [dix] couldn't enable device 18

What are the brand/model of mouse being plugged into the KVM?  Is the
keyboard plugged into the KVM a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard
4000?  Also, what's the brand/model of the USB KVM itself?

I'm interpreting from your wording that this is a regression and the
laptop with the KVM worked properly in Ubuntu at some point in the past?
What has changed on your system since that time?  kernel 3.0 vs. 3.1
maybe?  I'd be curious to know what is diff between the dmesg and
Xorg.*.log's here compared with a live iso boot of oneiric (assuming
that was working properly).
