Keyboard not starting with Photon

Hi!

I am running a NEW install of QNX 4.25E and Photon 1.14. When I start
Photon, I am unable use the keyboard however the keyboard is OK in QNX
(before booting to PH).

I ran inputtrap and have an input file (/etc/config/trap/input.9) which
contains an entry for the keyboard file :

kbd fd -d/dev/kbd

Regardless, thge keyboard will not start in Photon. I tried to remove the
input file so a new one is built but that doesn’t work either. I also tried
to manually start the kbd (Input kbd &) before starting Photn (which said
that kbd was running) but that didn’t work either.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Bill

Try adding -R to that the kbd part.

Actually it was there…sorry. It almost seems that the inout file is
ignored.

I tried with and without. I also tried just kbd, kbd with parameters, an &
at the end, no input file (I loaded kbd before I started ph). This is the
same after 3 clean loads (deleted and reinstalled several times).

Is there a way to see if the input file loads?

Yes try “sin args”, that will output the argument use by all the program.
Check
the argument to Input.

I think you are looking at the wrong Input file. Check out the
/etc/config/bin/Input file and insert the missing -r option.
