No mouse and keyboard at Photon configuration

At the installation, I have disable the other controller exept the EIDE
(unsupported SCSI adapter…). QNX boot fine until the Photon config appear
to select my graphic card. I would like to but my mouse and keyboard are
completely unresponsive… USB mouse, PS2 keyboard.

Any hint ??

Hi,

The USB mouse will not be autodetected by the system enumerators, so it not working at
this point is expected behavior.

The keyboard should work fine though. Can you get to a shell? If so try running inputtrap -vvvv.
What does it say?

Regards,

Joe

Hi Fred,

To get the USB mouse to go, the easiest way it to create a
rc.local script.

touch /etc/rc.d/rc.local
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local
vi /etc/rc.d/rc.local

add the following lines…

  • devu-ohci or uhci which ever works for your controller (test it from the
    command line first.
  • sleep 2
  • devu-mouse

Then you will have to create an input.{hostname} file (get hostname from
‘uname -a’).

e.g. uname -a

QNX emuis 6.1.0 2001/08/23-19:38:50edt x86pc x86

(emuis is my hostname)

Create that file in /etc/system/trap/ or /etc/config/trap
(one or the other I can’t remember off the top of my head which, doing it
in both won’t hurt).

Then add the following line to your input.{hostname} file.

kbd fd -d/dev/kbd msoft fd -d/dev/usbmouse0

Save the file and then restart, then you should be fine from there.

Regards,

Erick.
