USB keyboard recognized as HID keyboard but doesn't work

USB keyboard recognized as HID keyboard but doesn't work

[Adi J. Sieker]

Hello,

the lovely folks from #kernelnewbies suggested I write this mail since 
they are at a loss.
I recently got a new USB keyboard which works fine in the BIOS and also 
in VBox Windows guests, but not on the host.

The keyboard is a Keysonic KSK-8003 UX product details here: 
http://maxpoint.de/de/products/keyboards.php?pid=1_3_7&we_objectID=1220

The menu key and the backspace keys do work. The num lock led is on, 
though I can't switch num lock off.
If I attch the keyboard to a VirtualBox VM running WindowsXP as a guest, 
it works as expected in the VM.

I'm running 2.6.32-27-generic #49-Ubuntu. I tried the Ubuntu 10.10 
LiveCD and that also didn't work. I haven't tried 11.04 yet though.

The output of lsusb -v  is available here http://pastie.org/1851416

The relevant part of dmesg output:
[    6.501902] input: KB USB Keyboard as 
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.3/2-1.3:1.0/input/input9

I'd be grateful for any help and or pointers in the right to get this 
keyboard to work.

Regards
    Adi

This indicates that it is working on the USB level.

Do you get anything on the event device? What does udev say when you
plug in the device?

one thing I found out is that this keyboard has some special anti 
ghosting function for some keys. Where you can press multiple keys 
simultaneously
and they are all recognized. This is apparently great for gaming. Which 
I'm not interested in...

Cheers

Something else that might help is a usbmon trace showing what happens 
when you plug in the keyboard.  Instructions are in the kernel source 
file Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt.  In particular, while running the 
test try pressing some of the normal keys that don't work.

Also, it would help to see the output from "lsusb -v" for this device 
-- but you'll have to unbind it from the usbhid driver first.

The attached file usbmon-working.out is the output when I pressed the 
backspace key. When I press any of the non working keys which is 
everything but the backspace and menu key. I don't get any output even 
when using 0u.

When attaching the keyboard I get 2 devices in
/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/2-1.1:1.0  and
/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/2-1.1:1.1

The output is in the attached lsusb.txt.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough.  I meant for you to start the usbmon
trace _before_ plugging in the keyboard, so we can see what happens as
the keyboard is initialized and probed.

The output looks good.  It doesn't mean much to me, but the people on 
the linux-input mailing list should be able to get something out of it.

You were clear enough, I just couldn't read. :)

Attached is the usbmon trace when I plug the keyboard in.

lsusb shows the keyboard as:

Hi Christoph,

I haven't gotten around to compiling a new kernel yet.
Tzy-Jye Daniel Lin mentioned in a mail to me that adding
usbhid.quirks=0x060b:0x0230:0x0040 to the kernel command line
would achieve the same as the patch you posted.
I did try that on a 2.6.32 kernel and that didn't help.
I'll still generate a new kernel with your patch applied it's probably 
going to take a couple of days though.

Cheers
    Adi

A current kernel is recommended.

What kernel version do I need? I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, so can I apply 
this to a 2.6.32 Ubuntu kernel or do I need a current 2.6.39?

Any ideas if I'll run into problems if I run Ubuntu 10.04 on a 2.6.39 
kernel.

Cheers

Hi Adi,
 
 I'm not sure about my patch below because of interface one, maybe you
can give it a try.

Subject: [PATCH] HID: add quirk for Solid Year keyboard ACK231

This patch adds HID_QUIRK_MULTI_INPUT to Solid Year keyboard ACK231
which reports keystrokes from inside a firmware-configuration
interface instead of using its own interface.

in /sys/kernel/debug/hid I have two devices for the keyboard. One is 
0003:060B:0230.0002 and the other 0003:060B:0230.0003

attached are the rdesc files for both devices.

I only get events for the working keys on the *:0002 device.
All other files were empty after I pressed some keys.

The events for the working keys are attached in the *.events file.
I first pressed backspace and then the menu key.

Adi,

could you please provide output of

	cat /syse/kernel/debug/hid/<keyboard>/rdesc

anytime after the keyboard has been plugged, and

	cat /syse/kernel/debug/hid/<keyboard>/events

from the time you press any of the working and non-working keys? (both 
cases will be interesting).

Oh, and the above assumes that you have debugfs mounted under 
/sys/kernel/debug.

Thanks,

Well, you can always unbind interface 0 from usbhid -- it corresponds
to the 2-1.1:1.0 file in /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/.  If you do that,
you'll probably find the few keys which _do_ currently work suddenly
stop working.

But there's nothing to be done immediately about interface 1; usbhid is
_already_ using it.  It just isn't using it correctly.

Do you know of a way for me to tell the kernel/usbhid to use interface 1 
and ignore interface 0?

This is perfect.  It shows that the H key is reported using the 
interrupt endpoint on interface 1, which explains why it's not working 
with usbhid.  It also shows that the rejected Set-Idle request doesn't 
matter.

At this point I don't know what the problem is, but now there's plenty 
of information in the email thread for the people on linux-input to 
debug this.

I hope this is what you meant. :)
Attached is a usbmon trace when I attach the keyboard to a VBox VM 
running a Windows XP guest. I have no idea how to get a USB trace from 
within Windows. The last block is when I pressed h twice in the Windows 
XP guest.

Interestingly, the usbmon trace shows that the interrupt endpoint for
interface 1 isn't being used by usbhid.  I don't know why, but it
shouldn't make much difference for your purposes since that interface
appears to be associated with the gaming interface.  But maybe I'm
wrong and it is important somehow...

The other noticeable thing is that the keyboard didn't accept the 
Set-Idle request for interface 1.

You said before that the keyboard worked okay when driven by a guest 
Windows OS, right?  Can you collect an equivalent usbmon trace for 
that?  Comparing the two traces may be instructive.
