Hi everybody.

I’m trying to use my USB optical mouse under photon, but it didnt work.
these are my steps.

  1. io-usb -dohci -dehci -duhci &
  2. io-hid -dusb &
  3. devi-hid mouse &

And my mouse doesnt work.

I try again with:

1.- inetd &
2.- slay devi-hirun (this stop my keyboard and ps/2 mouse )

Using telnet I did:

3.- slay devi-hid &
( it prints an error message because devi-hid is not running ).
4.- inputtrap kbd fd -d/dev/kbd

Returning to photon (whithout ps/2 mouse enabled):

5.- inputtrap devi-hid mouse &
(nothing happens)
6.- inputtrap start
input driver devi-usb is not available (error code = -1).
(is devi-usb, not devh-usb)

And again I only had ps/2 mouse enabled.


Thanks,



Eugenio,

Yes… but it is a big secret. Please don’t tell anyone…

Here is my /etc/rc.d/rc.local script that starts USB mouse and a few
daemons (the bottom part of it dealing with daemons can be removed, it
is not relevant to the USB mouse issue). Don’t forget to do chmod +x to
the file.

If you think it is too tricky, you’re right. That’s why it works…

#!/bin/sh
#set -x

icfg=/etc/system/trap/input.${HOSTNAME}

pidin | grep uhci >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
io-usb -duhci
fi
waitfor /dev/usb

typeset -i timeout=5
printf “Waiting for the USB bus to initialize”
while [ $timeout -gt 0 ]; do
usb | grep Device >/dev/null 2>&1 && break
timeout=$timeout-1
printf “.”
sleep 1
done
echo

usb | grep .ouse >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
printf "USB mouse detected: "
echo $(usb | grep Vendor | awk ‘{print $4}’)
devu-mouse
cat <<@ >$icfg
devi-hirun kbd fd -d /dev/kbd msoft fd -d /dev/usbmouse0
@
else
test -f $icfg && rm $icfg
fi

daemons=“inetd portmap nfsd fs-nfs3”
for daemon in $daemons; do
pidin | grep $daemon >/dev/null 2>&1 && continue
$daemon
done

unset daemons daemon icfg timeout

Enjoy your mouse.

THANKS,

Hi,

Finally my USB optical mouse can work!!.

I did this steps in a terminal after photon:

io-usb -duhci -dohci -dehci &
waitfor /dev/io-usb
devu-mouse
waitfor /dev/usbmouse0
devi-hirun msoft fd -d/dev/usbmouse0

but my wheel doesn’t work yet.


THANKS,


Eugenio.

There is a signicant in the way USB devices are detected and started in
6.3.0 Service Pack 3. The detection and starting of the correct driver for
USB mice and keyboards is now automated, including the use of a USB keyboard
in the command line console (non-Photon). A patch archive is also available
for 6.3.0 SP2 that enables this same level of functionality.
I highly recommend those using USB keyboard, mice or storage device (hard
drives and DOS keys) under QNX 6.3.0 upgrade to SP3.
