>Description:
When running X11 (that 4.0.1 snap) entering wcconsctl -a trashes the keyboard. Pick one:
- in a <carage-return> loop
- prints garbage when a key is hit
The exact kernel is from Tue Jun 24 23:24. I can't try a newer kernel, it currently doesn't build :-(

Hi,
Could you please be more specific?
I pulled up a patch that allows one to use the "raw" keyboard
interface to access the keyboard from X11 and am thus wondering
whether I could be responsible for your problem.
Did you change your XF86Config file? Is it new? Does it use the
"wscons" protocol?
Did you compile in the WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_RAWKBD option?
More importantly, when did it last work with the same setup, if it
ever did?
Thanks,
Aymeric

I'm afraid not really :-(

Does this fix my problem of a non-apple USB keyboard printing strange
characters?!

It appears to use wskbd:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "Protocol" "wskbd"
Option "Device" "/dev/wskbd"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 5"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "macadb"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
> Did you compile in the WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_RAWKBD option?
No (what WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_RAWKBD option?).
> More importantly, when did it last work with the same setup, if it

Don't know, probably never tried it.

I believe so, together with a "recent" xsrc.

With this option enabled, you can have a simpler Keyboard section
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "Keyboard"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
and then plug/unplug USB keyboards at any time under X11 and have them
work properly, like the internal keyboard.

Alright, so there is still a good chance that I'm not at fault. ;-)

I'm not so sure :-( X, on the current kernel, crashes (and before it
didn't - as in I can't remember an X crash prior to the current
updates). Again, I'm afraid, a not very descriptive description of the
problem.
