Description Kostas Oikonomou 2020-06-21 20:32:45 UTC

Hello,

I have been using a Sun type 6 USB keyboard for a long time with my FreeBSD
system.
After the update to xorg-server-1.20, the Sun-specific keys on the left of the
keyboard are no longer recognized.


Here is the output of setxkbmap:


[ko@wiley ~]$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include
"pc+sun_vndr/us+sun_vndr/gr(simple):2+inet(evdev)+group(menu_toggle)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "sun(type6unix)"	};
};
[ko@wiley ~]$ 


And here is what libinput debug-events --verbose --show-keycodes reports, first
pair of columns, 
and what xev reports, second pair of
columns:Stop   KEY_POWER      116    Xf86PowerOff    124
Again  KEY_SLEEP      142    XF86Sleep       150
Props
Undo
Front
Copy   KEY_WAKEUP     143    XF86Wakeup      151
Open
Paste  KEY_SEARCH     217    XF86Search      225
Find   KEY_BOOKMARKS  156    XF86Favorites   164
Cut    KEY_REFRESH    173    XF86Reload      181
A) I've tried to fix some mappings, e.g. the Copy key, by doing

xmodmap -e "keycode 143 = XF86Copy"

but this doesn't work. Similarly for Paste, etc.

B) You can see that the important keys Open, Front, and Undo produce no keycodes
at all.


C) I had previously posted this question to the X11 forum. It resulted in a long
discussion, but no resolution.
Please see below:

Any help would be appreciated.

Please, dump your keyboard USB report descriptor and left key scancodes.

Add

hw.usb.quirk.0="0xVID 0xPID 0 0xffff UQ_KBD_IGNORE"

to /boot/loader.conf and reboot. It will effectively replace your keyboard with generic HID driver (uhid). 0xVID and 0xPID should be replaced with your keyboard vendor ID and product ID (in hex)

Than dump USB report descriptor with 'sudo usbhidctl -f /dev/uhidX -r' and scncodes with 'sudo usbhidctl -f /dev/uhidX -la' command. You should press the keys while running latter command. Please post results here.

Comment 2 Kostas Oikonomou 2020-06-22 15:21:59 UTC

(In reply to Vladimir Kondratyev from comment #1)
I did the first step, with keyboard id 0x0430 and vendor id 0x0005. 

Unfortunately, after rebooting, this deactivated my keyboard, so I could not do anything. The Sun keyboard was completely inactive (even in sigle user mode).

I have a wireless USB keyboard, and plugging that in allowed me to comment out the change in loader.conf and fix the situation.

That is expected. I should have warned you. Sorry. You need 2-nd keyboard or ssh session to test 1-st keyboard with usbhidctl.

Alternatively, you can replace usb keyboard driver with https://github.com/wulf7/iichid as it exports uhid-compatible character device as /dev/hidrawX and allows usbhidctl attachment with live keyboard.

Forget it. You need 12-STABLE or 13-CURRENT to get keyboard work this way.

Comment 5 Kostas Oikonomou 2020-06-22 17:54:01 UTC

(In reply to Vladimir Kondratyev from comment #4)

Using the 2nd keyboard I did

[ko@wiley ~]$ sudo usbhidctl -f /dev/uhid0 -r > usb_report_descriptor0
[ko@wiley ~]$ sudo usbhidctl -f /dev/uhid1 -r > usb_report_descriptor1

The files usb_report_descriptor0 and usb_report_descriptor1 are at the end.

Then I did

[ko@wiley ~]$ sudo usbhidctl -f /dev/uhid0 -la > codes0
usbhidctl: hid_get_report(rid 0): Device not configured

^C
[ko@wiley ~]$ sudo usbhidctl -f /dev/uhid1 -la > codes1

usbhidctl: hid_get_report(rid 32): Device not configured

Great! usb_report_descriptor0 is a keyboard report descriptor.

Now, please run 
sudo usbhidctl -f /dev/uhid0 -la

but let it run instead of terminate and than press/release sequentially all the left-side Sun keys. If all is done properly, you will see following strings among others at keypress:

Generic_Desktop:Keyboard.Keyboard:Reserved_(no_event_indicated)=XXX 0 0 0 0 0

where XXX is a decimal HID scancode.

On release this string should be just:

Generic_Desktop:Keyboard.Keyboard:Reserved_(no_event_indicated)=0 0 0 0 0 0

Please post all these XXX with according key names here.

Comment 7 Kostas Oikonomou 2020-06-22 19:59:04 UTC

On the left panel of the Sun keyboard are 10 keys, in 5 rows:

Stop, Again
Props, Undo
Front, Copy,
Open, Paste
Find, Cut

I pressed them in order left-to-right, top-to-bottom:

Did you remove/comment out hw.usb.quirk line from /boot/loader.conf and reboot than?

Comment 13 Kostas Oikonomou 2020-06-22 22:51:50 UTC

(In reply to Vladimir Kondratyev from comment #12)
Removed the line from loader.conf, rebooted, and now xev shows all the right keycodes!  I already got Open and Undo working in xfce and Emacs, and the Cut, Copy, Paste work in my browser.

Thanks very much, this was a tough problem!

Some last questions:

1) The sysctl kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=12 line goes in /etc/rc.conf?
2) Can you give a short explanation of what sysctl kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=12
did?

Great!

It is better place kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=12 line in to /etc/sysctl.conf

> 2) Can you give a short explanation of what sysctl kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=12 did?
It disabled kbdmux as source of events and enabled ukbd. In USB keyboard case that reduced number of internal keycode translations from 2 (HID -> ATset1 -> evdev) to 1 (HID -> evdev). It looks like some of nonstandard Sun-specific keys were lost in transit as translation tables are not adjusted for 2 step translation good enough.

Comment 15 Vladimir Kondratyev freebsd_committer

2020-07-11 00:32:53 UTC

Recent 13-CURRENT and 12-STABLE have kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=12 sysctl by default.
