1 Hi,
2
3 I'm still struggling with xorg + hal
4
5 Now, my PS/2 keyboard translates certain keys in a strange
6 way, e.g. 'insert' 'home' 'PgUp' 'PgDn' etc.
7
8 Xorg.0.log contains the following lines which I don't understand
9 (II) config/hal: Adding input device AT Translated Set 2 keyboard
10 (**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: always reports core events
11 (**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Device: "/dev/input/event0"
12 (WW) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: device file already in use. Ignoring.
13 (II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
14 (EE) PreInit returned NULL for "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
15 (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed
16

18 Any help is very much appreciated,
19 thanks,
20 Helmut.

23 P.S.

25 I tried both drivers
26 kbd and evdev (since my mouse uses evdev)
