No mouse in Porteus 5.01

Dear Community,
I have a new machine with recent hardware and I have a problem with mouse and not responsive keyboard with Porteus-KDE-v5.01-x86_64.
I noticed that there are new updates for core, kernel, xorg, but even with these new modules I still have the issue with missing mouse and not responsive keyboard.
I use the Logitech mouse & keyboard combo with the USB receiver dongle.
At this link you can see the output of dmesg:

I hope to receive your help.
Thank you, best regards,

Hi Beny,
The Porteus distribution is clean, no extra modules added except for devel.xzm and google chrome.
The USB dongle is connected to the motherboard's USB.
Just for your information: running the full Slackware Linux distro, everything is running properly.
The issue is to be investigated on Porteus configuration, not on the USB ports.
I suspect that in the tentative of reducing the size of the distro, something is missing and the mouse/keyboard are not fully operating on all systems.
Is there something I can do to debug this issue?
Thanks,
kalo86

hi, try rfkill in terminal,maybe on porteus the bluetooth is blocked via hardware or software rfkill show you the status of wifi and bluetooth.
if you have done a full slackware install you have all that you need for the system,bluez and co,start the bluetooth service at boot time in xfce is simple you have to add rc.bluetooth to session and start, plasma...well i don't use it,but i think you have something like xfce4,ok try

Hi Beny, the mouse and keyboard combo are not Bluetooth.
It's a proprietary receiver USB dongle, but not driven by Bluetooth.
I also tried the Live Slack by Alienbob and mouse and keyboard are working.
There is something wrong in Porteus.
I see a perfect working of the keyboard out of Porteus desktop environment.
For example, by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 I can type very well with the keyboard and run the commands.
Also the mouse, it's working in the desktop environment, there is no cursor/pointer but if I move on the left bottom corner and I left click the mouse button, the "start" panel opens. Then every other action by pressing the upper/lower arrow on the keyboard is not responsive.

Hi
kalo86.
Code: Select all
[ 16.344930] iwlwifi 0000:07:00.0: loaded firmware version 83.ec13314b.0 gl-c0-fm-c0-83.ucode op_mode iwlmvm
seems you are have issue with iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-83.ucode firmware.
P.S. is not bad if it be Porteus 5.01 with latest updates (comes with kernel 6.6.20)

I had to run both commands outside of the KDE desktop environment because I am not able to open the terminal.
Therefore, I press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run the commands, saving the output files in the USB drive (where Porteus is located and running from).
Thank you for your help!

hi well i think you have to load the kernel/drivers/hid/usbhid/usbhid.ko.zst: into the config of porteux do not exist maybe are builded in, take a look at porteus one if you have but lsmod don't show nothing you have 4 modules to load at boot time,maybe blaze can confirm this... wow... very impressive hardware

Thank you Beny, this new PC is a monster, I know! It's incredibly fast, I'm amazed.
I found a possible solution as proposed here:
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic. ... 9&t=370633
For simplicity I report here the possible solution that I'm going to try:
One option: create the following file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf with the contents
Code: Select all
Section “Device”
Identifier “AMD”
Driver “amdgpu”
Option “SWCursor” “True”
End Section
Another option: modify the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf (or similarly named file such as 20-amdgpu.conf) and add the following lines
Code: Select all
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "AMDgpu"
MatchDriver "amdgpu"
Driver "amdgpu"
Option "SWcursor" "true"
EndSection
I will come back if this solution works.

Ok, I have a good news but still not the perfect solution.
I created the file usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf in the rootcopy and now I see the mouse pointer.
The problem is that it's very laggy, not smooth at all.
The graphic of the KDE environment is correctly loaded as before.
Do you have any suggestions after this small step forward?
