[solved] Use keyboard and mouse without rebooting?

[diligentcircle]

So, I noticed that I can use an external keyboard and mouse, but they need to be plugged in when the Pandora boots up. Right now, my solution is to reboot whenever I want to use a mouse and/or keyboard, but is there an easier way?

That's odd I've never needed to do that, I've always just plugged them in when needed. I'm using a USB 2.0 hub and the regular USB connector not the mini OTG port.

Same here, but I need to reboot before the devices are usable. It's only with a mouse and keyboard. Could it by chance be that both the mouse and keyboard I have are Logitech devices, I wonder? Maybe they do something slightly weird.


EDIT: Specifically, M305 and K120

Weird indeed... I use a Logitech MX518 and an IBM Model M keyboard with a PS/2 keyboard to USB adapter.

Are you using the 3.2 Kernel? Try this command in the terminal if you are.


sudo modprobe ehci-hcd

Nope. Old kernel here.

IIRC on the old kernel you can't connect empty hubs or the USB host will crash. Try connecting devices to hub first, then hub to pandora.

The hub I use has a built on ethernet adapter.. would explain why that never fails like that for me with the old kernel.

Huh, that seems to be it. Thanks!

Hmm, I never seem to have ever had this problem and I always plug in empty hubs before the stuff connecting to the hub.
