linux ppc not accepting keyboard input?

Post by a chaotic gnom » Sat, 24 Apr 1999 04:00:00



Hi there,

I just installed linuxppc on my new powerbook g3 last night.
Installation went like a charm, but when booting into
linux, occasionally my keyboard will just not work.

My roommate, who also has a pb g3 with linuxppc on it, has
the same problems.

Anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix it?

Thanks,

Arin

I recall that having Mute set on your G3PB has the side effect of killing
keyboard (and sometimes mouse) input. See if that helps.

1. X Window not accepting input or input focus

Platform: Redhat 5.1, XFree86, C Program, Athena Widgets

When I run the attached program, I am unable to give the X window focus
(title bar remains gray instead of blue).  This presents a problem when I
have asciitext widgets on screen.  As I type, my keyboard response is sent
to the terminal from which I launched the application.  Running xwininfo on
the window with the -all option tells me:

...
Window manager hints:
    Client accepts input or input focus: no
...

I believe that this is my problem, but I do not know how I can change this
(newbie).  I can compile sources for X apps provided with the Redhat
distribution and they run normally.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
