Freevo Keyboard Not functioning

by admin on Jun.28, 2009, under Linux Blerg

If you have this problem with freevo 1.8.3 and gentoo installed :

” My keyboard in freevo doesn’t work since upgrading to new xorg version but after restarting freevo from ssh the keyboard works again, I am using the custom freevo script in this site and I don’t have any mouse installed ”

then probably you will need to remove freevo init.d script from all runlevel and force the script to load from local init.d script.

Or you can try to search for a more elegant solution which I suspect the culprit is in the freevo init.d script which loaded before all the dependencies are loaded.

Well for the first solution is very easy, you just need to add this line :

/etc/init.d/freevo start

in the /etc/conf.d/local.start

and remove all the freevo init.d script from any runlevel.

rc-update del freevo default boot

now your keyboard should come from the dead again….
