USB Keyboard doesn't work on boot but works fine after

#1 Post by Guest »

I have a Compaq EZ 2207 with a USB keyboard using Puppy 1.0.5. It works fine after Puppy finishes booting, but does nothing when I try to set up a multisession CD. I tried inserting insmod usbkbd into the rc.sysinit-cd file. The driver loaded without any error messages, but the keyboard still doesn't work.

I found the solution on another post. I remastered the cd, putting the following two lines in the rc.sysinit-cd file:

Code: Select all

modprobe usbkbd
modprobe keybdev
Now my usb keyboard works with the multisession feature. Perhaps the loading of these drivers should be automatic if there is no input from the keyboard after a certain length of time.
