Problems with both USB and Photon
I'm using the June 2011 product CD.
I'm having trouble making both USB and Photon work on a Lenovo Thinkcenter A70. I've neverhad much luck making USB work
under QNX4, so I hope you will forgive any seemingly obvious errors.
The mouse and keyboard are both USB. Legacy USB support is enabled in the BIOS. The first sign of trouble was when the
CD installer claimed to find a PS2 mouse, but the mouse did not move the cursor. I installed using the keyboard. I
installed photon as part of the installation process, and it probed for the video driver and ran the flat driver, which
appeared to work nicely. Once I rebooted into the newly created hard disk based OS things started to go wrong.
Typing ph caused the photon desktop to partially appear, ie the grey background appeared, but the clock and menu items
were missing. The system was also totally hung, falling off the network and not responding to the keyboard.
So I tried ph -s, which had the same dire results.
I thought this may have something to do with the USB mouse not working, so I tried to get it working as a USB device
rather than a legacy PS2.
Running io-usb & causes the machine to hang. I tried io-usb-ehci, which created /dev/usb, so I tried devu-mouse, which
creates a process when viewed via sin, but did not create /dev/usbmouse0 as I expected.
Another oddity, is that the keyboard behaves oddly. The Num lock light is permanently on, and the numeric keypad acts as
arrow keys. (The opposite state to that whch I'm expecting) Pressing numlock does not change this. The real arrow keys
have become numbers! I've tried different keyboards and they all behave in the same way.
So, could anyone suggest how I might get the mouse and photon to work without hanging the system? i feel I must be
doing something stupid.
I've attached the output of show_pci -vv
Thanks
