Description Rich Coe 2010-03-04 20:43:01 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.18) Gecko/2010020400 SUSE/3.0.18-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.18

I had a 11.1 system which I am testing upgrades to 11.3.
I did not read the wiki before performing upgrade.
I booted from the DVD and selected 'Upgrade system' instead of install.
The system installed and rebooted.

After reboot, Xorg is running, but the keyboard and mouse are dead.
Capslock on the keyboard does not work.  Inserting a USB keyboard does 
not work.

I rebooted.
During booting the capslock key on keyboard toggles the capslock light.
Once Xorg and login manager start, the keyboard is dead.

I rebooted and started system in single user.  I changed the boot level to
3 from 5.  
When system starts at level 3, I can login.
starting sax2 to configure X makes the keyboard fail.  Must reboot.
I removed existing xorg.conf file, and try sax2 again.  
When Xorg starts the keyboard dies again.


Reproducible: Didn't try

hald not running at all?

Comment 5 Bernhard Wiedemann 2010-03-07 20:56:28 UTC

might be bug 551929 

try uncommenting in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
option       "AutoAddDevices" "off"

Could be.

Respectively add it (as workaround) to ServerFlags section in your xorg.conf.

Comment 7 Rich Coe 2010-03-08 17:48:26 UTC

Uncommenting the AutoAddDevices 'off' option worked.  
I now have a keyboard and mouse with this work-around.

What I don't understand is why this is happening.
The default is the evdrv for configuring keyboard/mouse, even 
the default configuration makes it configure the system that way.

This issue makes it difficult to upgrade a system.

Provided info in above comment.

Comment 9 Stefan Dirsch 2010-03-09 02:19:19 UTC

The issue is that hal is apparently not running. Closing as duplicate.
