The keyboard works fine in the BIOS and seems to work until the NVIDIA Splash screen at which time it fails to respond. I've been testing it by simply turning on and off caps lock during boot. It's not until just before the NVIDIA Splash screen that it fails to recognize cap locks, as indicated by the LED Cap lock light on the RF Receiver. When it finally loads into XBMC my keyboard fails to work.
I believe I've found the problem in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that NVIDIA replaces when the NVIDIA driver is installed. The original xorg.conf has the following settings:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" "intl"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
EndSection
Whereas the NEW xorg.conf file that NVIDIA genertates looks like this:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
EndSection
I've tried putting the original xorg.conf keyboard and mouse code into the new NVIDIA generated xorg.conf, but the keyboard still fails to work, however I do have the mouse working now. BTW, I'm using Hardy. This is all very strange as it worked perfectly on the XBMC Live CD.
Any suggeestions?
