Distribution: Ubuntu (Hoary + Warty), Gentoo, Rubyx I tried this with various builds of the 2.6.8, 2.6.10 and 2.6.11 kernels on different distros. Problem Description: Genius SlimStar USB keyboard is not recognized. (Even though USB is working.) When the keyboard is connected, dmesg says: usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7 usb 2-1: hald timed out on ep0in drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: timeout initializing reports input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [ABBAHOME] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-1
here's the lsusb entry: Bus 002 Device 007: ID 05d5:6782 Super Gate Technology Co., Ltd
As I suspect this is a Genius specific problem, I contacted Genius' tech support at csd02@email.geniusnet.com.tw
Any progress on this one?
I have nothing new to report. (I also don't have the keyboard any more, as I was not able to use it with my system.) I am pretty confident that this really is an issue, because it occured * on two machines * on >= 4 distributions, kernel versions * (on MS Windows w/o Genius' custom drivers)
Ok, marking this one "not enough info" as it sounds like a hardware specific issue that without specs, we will not be able to fix.
Hello, I am also an owner of this keyboard with the same problem, but only when upgrading to 2.6 kernel (2.6.4 and 2.6.12.3). it was working normaly in kernel 2.4.18-14. Greetings, Rok
Again, we don't have the specs for this, so I don't think we can get it to work, sorry. But keep trying newer kernel releases...
Any progress on this one? 2.6.14 have this...
I've got a Genius kb, not the same model, but dmesg and lsusb reports look like Felix's ones. I'm running a 2.6.12 kernel, and the keyboard works fine with the old HIDBP drivers. I hope this info could be useful.
Try to add the keyboard to the QUIRK_NOGET list in hid-core.c

Keyboard i connet into additional usb-hub.
I have a Genius LuxeMateScroll USB Keyboard, it presents the same behaviour as described here. The only difference i see with Genius SlimStar and LuxeMateScroll is that the later has a scroll wheel integrated. The only thing working on my keyboard is the scroll wheel, so i suspect that the kernel thinks it's a mouse instead of a keyboard. According to Genius ( http://www.geniusnet.com.tw/product/product-1.asp?pdtno=516) these two keyboard models are USB+PS/2
GOT IT WORKING What you have to do is: Compile Modules for usbhid and usbkbd (usbmouse also recomended), then, when you want to use any of these keyboards you have to rmmod usbhid and modprobe usbkbd and... Voila! Happy new year! PS: don't know if this bug should be marked as FIXED cause i think it would be really nice to use usbhid in it.
Yes, it working :) I do so: 1. Add to hid-core.c: #define USB_VENDOR_ID_GENIUS 0x05d5 #define USB_DEVICE_ID_GENIUS_SLSTAR_KB 0x6782 // .... hid_blacklist[] = { //... { USB_VENDOR_ID_GENIUS, USB_DEVICE_ID_GENIUS_SLSTAR_KB, HID_QUIRK_NOGET }, //... 2. Compile kernel 3. Reboot to new kernel - Keyboard not work... 4. Plug other keyboard into PS/2 and press to example num lock 5. USB Keyboard now work...
Great, marking closed.
