I cannot get (several different models) keyboards to work via USB, neither via host cable + adapter PS2->USB, nor directly via host cable. (But flash drives work with this particular adapter cable!)

Kernel message log attached.

Enviro: kp49 +extmouse + extkbd + h-e-n, no HID scripts.

EDIT: "Not working" equals to: no keyboard model detected / selectable from "keyboard" button, layout therefore is also not saved despite success message. Currently i do not have BT devices to check if at least that interface is successful.

Judging by your dmesg output, device isn't enumerated properly, so extkbd doesn't have much to do.

Seems like report for hostmode thread.

Ok thank you, i will forward case to appropriate queue.

(Is it that i always check with Cherry G80-3000 / MX keyboards and nobody used them before?)

- all letters
- space
- tab
- backsapce
- enter
- comma
- period
- shift (though not at the same time as i press another key)
- esc
- directional keys
- f keys

Numbers, most special characters, and most special keys (such as capslock, ctrl, alt, etc) aren't working though events are sent in. Any idea what could be wrong? I've tried different mappings, but I can't get any of these other keys to work. Has anyone else experienced similar issues and/or know how to get numeric keys and special keys working?
I have the same problem and I found where it is. Unfortunately it took much time, so the only excuse for me is that now I know a little bit more of Xorg internals.

There's a function IsPointerDevice in Xorg code. If the device has "valuator" and buttons, it is treated as pointer device (= mouse). I don't know exactly what the valuator is, but sure in our case combo keyboard is treated as pointer device. Then if keyboard events are coming from pointer dev, they are processed on behalf of some other keyboard.

So xkb config assigned to a combo keyboard is not used, modifiers are not working, and so on.

I hacked evdev_drv.so to skip pointer device configuration, and the keyboard part started to work properly. Now I'm looking for a way to clone the input device so touchpad and keyboard parts would act separately.

Presence of extra capablities in lshal output may be a sign of the problem, but it's not exact as the evdev_drv detects input capabilities on it's own.

I changed evdev_drv.so to be able to handle keyboard and mouse events separately. Driver source was taken from
xserver-xorg-input-evdev-mouse-2.1.99-1osso20090206.12.tar.gz (xserver-xorg-input-evdev-mouse 1:2.1.99-1osso20090206.12-1mouse+0m5).

There are two new options KeyboardOnly and MouseOnly.
If you set KeyboardOnly to "yes", then the evdev can be registered with Xorg for the second time with MouseOnly = "yes". So the single linux evdev can be registered as two X server devices.

There are hal scripts, readme and evdev patch in the attachment.

Do you want to be added as a maintainer of all this extkbd/extmou stuff. As I really just don't have time to actively maintain them, all my spare time goes into KP/CSSU

@kirillkk - super informative! unfortunately, my n900 died a while ago (no cell signal), so i don't have a need for the nice workaround you created. Still thanks for the follow up!

I afraid I don't have time either If you like, I may try to integrate changes into extkbd and evdev packages. But I won't be able to do any continuous support.

Any contribution (to "mainstream" package in -devel) is better than no contribution at all

Any chance of fixing the bugtracker link and pushing the latest to testing, please.
Seems to be stable, shame for small bug fixes like this to be stuck in devel.
