答复: Which kernel for framebuffering?

[YhLu]

What is your kernel version? 2.6?

Please check if the pc_kbd_init is called, 2.6 for X86-64/i386 need keyboard
be reset. It assume BIOS has did that for him.

Worked nicely :) The keyboard worked at FILO, but did not work after the 
kernel booted. It didn't even show IRQ 1 in /proc/interrupts. Weird, but I 
guess that's another matter. I'm just very, very happy to see Linux boot 
into a console I can see on a real monitor :)

I am using kernel 2.6.5. I'm not sure that the pc_kbd_init function exists 
in kernel 2.6.5. But it does not look like atkbd_init() is called, in case 
that's what you meant to say. I'll check it out again tomorrow if I have 
some time.

When we cat /proc/interrupts, int 1 does not appear on the list:

k root # cat /proc/interrupts 
           CPU0       CPU1       
  0:   17164403          0    IO-APIC-edge  timer
  2:          0          0          XT-PIC  cascade
  4:          8          0    IO-APIC-edge  serial
  8:          0          0    IO-APIC-edge  rtc
 12:      41628          0    IO-APIC-edge  i8042
 14:      23228          0    IO-APIC-edge  ide0
 15:          2          0    IO-APIC-edge  ide1
 19:     270954          0   IO-APIC-level  eth0
NMI:        181         22 
LOC:   17161863   17161969 
ERR:          0
MIS:          0

However, this is in our dmesg:
k root # dmesg | grep -ie 'kbd'
serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1

Also, the mouse works in X windows.
