Any idea why this happens?
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 MB
4GB RAM/Intel E8500 3.16GHz CPU
Logitech EX 110 Black USB Keyboard
Nvidia 9500GT
Ubuntu 8.04
i686
SVN:18041 Compiled install of SVN
When XBMC first starts the keyboard will not work. I have to stop XBMC with the remote, then restart from the command line (keyboard works) and then the keyboard functions fine in XBMC.
If I boot with a USB stick using XBMCLive 8.10 release my keyboard works fine.
Thanks

Tried unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in?
yeah tried that, everytime the PC is turned on, the keyboard does not work when XBMC loads for the first time. strange
The answer will be in your Xorg log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log).
Do you have your keyboard and mouse hard-coded in your xorg.conf or are you letting them auto-detect?
The mouse and keyboard are defined in my xorg.config but I did not manually add them, I don't know if it was added from the ubuntu install or something else. Is there something I should be looking for? there are no (EE) entries in the xorg.0.log
can you find a line like
Quote:(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Generic Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD)
in your xorg.log?
It's at the end of my log file

hmm strange, that looks right (if you have a ps2 keyboard). do you see something in the xbmc log (/var/tmp/username-xbmc.log) when you press buttons on your keyboard?
Hi i have the exact same problem
My keyboard is a Microsoft ps2 keyboard
i have 2 installations one with interpid and one with hardy
on interpid works all fine
on hardy i cannot set keyboard to work , expept only if i do xbmc restart
I think problem appears when you already added "Autostart XBMC" from older version of the HOW-TO and now just tried the NEW Autostart section.
This was also not working for me, Keyboard not responding. I switched back
and now its working again.
So maybe a problem with the GUIDE for Hardy?
