Description

I have an A4Tech KB-5A Water-proof USB keyboard. The keyboard seems to be working fine except that if I press any of the lock keys (and thus LED status is updated) once or several (2-3) times, the keyboard stops responding - pressing any keys on it has no effect. I can observe this in HelenOS (connected via UHCI on my Sony Vaio laptop). I cannot see it when running Linux. The same machine (Vaio + HelenOS) but different USB keyboard works, so it seems to be a problem with HelenOS HID driver vs. A4Tech keyboard.

This one?

Can you please, post output of usbinfo -rt? The keyboard might be using some weird HID descriptor that the current driver is not able to cope with.

BTW - does this happen on real hardware or in QEMU?

Is this still reproducible?

Tried to test it, but as of mainline,1487, no USB devices work for me at all on bare metal (either Sony Vaio with UHCI or AMD workstation with OHCI).

Yup, that's the one. Current link to product page I cannot get the usbinfo -rt right now since USB does not work for me at all on bare metal… will try forwarding to Qemu. AFAIR it uses standard descriptors for both keypress reports and setting LED state.

I can no longer reproduce this as of mainline,1490. Yay :-)
