Console not working

[Nils-TUD]

The console is not working on a system with USB keyboard and legacy USB emulation. The keyboard is delivering scancodes correctly, but the console does not seem to comprehend them. Here's some log output of functions I instrumented:

[2] kb: handle_scancode key=2
[6] kb: input_thread flags=800 scancode=2 keycode=0 character=0
[2] kb: handle_scancode key=82

Looks to me as if you have set scancode set 1. Have you specified that in the commandline of the keyboard application via "scset1"? Because the default is 2.

[Nils-TUD]

Specifying scset1 does the trick. Would be nice if the scancode set could be autodetected.

[Nils-TUD]

Of course. If you know a simple and reliable way, please tell me :)

[Nils-TUD]

How about NUL's approach? Try setting the keyboard to scancode set 2 via F0-02. If that fails, you could fall back to scancode set 1.

[Nils-TUD]

This is exactly what NRE does, because the keyboard-stuff has been ported from NUL and just structured a bit differently and wheelmouse-support has been added. As it seems, this detection doesn't always work.

[Nils-TUD]

Oh, I see. So apparently, the scancode set command succeeds, but the actual scancode setting remains the same. Maybe one could check the setting afterwards via F0-00?
