How to set up USB keyboard in XF86Config
I'm having some trouble with my Logitech USB keyboard on my Toshiba laptop (sometimes I need an external monitor and keyboard
). When I am in console mode, the keyboard is recognized correctly and works fine. But as soon as I run X, the keyboard is no longer recognized. I've tried googling around for the right Inputdevice setup in Xf86Config-4, but am unable to find one.
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Eirik

EirikN,
Did you think to try booting the computer from the CD and then copying the config file? Here's a factoid that might help:
Very Easy X Setup (video, mouse, keyboard): Use Knoppix to boot your machine and then do: "sudo su; mount -t ext2 /dev/hda2 /mnt; mv /mnt/etc/XF86Config-4 /mnt/etc/XF86Config-4-backup-on`/bin/date +%m_%d_%Y_%a_%I_%M_%p`; cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /mnt/etc/XF86Config-4; umount /mnt; reboot" ...and take the CD out before you reboot.

Hmmm - perhaps I didn't explain clearly enough: I've installed Knoppix 3.3 on the laptop's harddisk, so the Xf86Config-4 files are exactly the same on /hda2 and the CD-ROM (with one small language modification). In other words, this wouldn't make a difference, would it?
