[Buildroot] Question: exporting QWS_KEYBOARD=LinuxInput:/dev/input/event0" hang application

[Belisko Marek]

Hi,

I know this isn't related to buildroot but maybe somehow have same troubles.
I've build simple buildroot rootfs (2012.08 based) with QT4.8.2, my
small qt application
and dropbear.

I can start my application and it is working fine. When need to add
keyboard handling
from USB keyboard application hang (with no useful data in console) that way:
export QWS_KEYBOARD="LinuxInput:/dev/input/event0" ./app -qws

I've double check qt configuration and linuxinput is checked.
Anybody have same troubles?

Thanks.

Marek

I remember having problems with Qt as soon as I started defining
QWS_KEYBOARD, but I don't remember if the problem was exactly the one
you had.

Can you try to add the attached patch to the Qt package? It has been
written for Qt 4.7.3, but since the patch is trivial, I guess it can be
quickly adapted to Qt 4.8.2. It's the patch I had to fix the problem I
encountered, but again I don't remember the exact problem, and I have
been apparently too lazy to describe it in the patch description.

Best regards,

Thomas

Thanks. It helps. It's not freezing with your patch.

Great. The patch is more a workaround than a real bug, but it would be
nice to implement a real fix and submit it upstream.

Best regards,

Thomas

When finish project I'll try to work on it and post proper patch upstream.
