  • [gentoo-user] mouse and keyboard don't respond

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to and before that it on Fri Sep 10 05:40:01 2021
    This is a new installation:
    mouse and keyboard don't respond at all
    dmesg sees them and in the Xorg.0.log
    libinput sees them both but it keeps saying
    libinput: Logitech G703 (my mouse) Failed to create a device for /dev/input/event23
    and before that it says xf85OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/event23 Permission denied.
    :((( my kernel has everything and i have the drivers all installed
    im not sure what im missing

    ...

    You can,
    1. run X as root
    2. either do
    mknod -m 600 /dev/input/event23 c 13 87
    chown $USER /dev/input/event23
    or
    mknod -m 666 /dev/input/event23 c 13 87
    3. fiddle with udev so it does what it should, don't know how

    Regards,
    /Karl Hammar

    Devices are owned by root:input here, are you a member of the input group?

    Wouldn't being a member of plugdev, rather than input group, deal with this? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----

    I wouldn't think so, but since I'm in both groups I can't test it. But
    the permissions are 660 for root:input.

    In this seat I'm only in plugdev and wired USB mice/keyboards are detected and work each time. They are listed as 660, root:input here too.

    HOWEVER ... I don't possess Logitech G703 to test it. There is an additional complexity since the OP's mouse is wireless @2.5GHz. I don't know if the wireless dongle Logitech ships with this mouse requires any special firmware, to allow it to function correctly as a USB device. :-/
