Keyboard not working in QT/X11 2.3.2
Message 1 in thread
Hi all,
I've got a problem with my keyboard not working with QT/X11 2.3.2 (I'm
using this ancient version because I'm building apps for Qtopia). For
example, if I start designer, I can use the mouse to interact with the
GUI, but it completely ignores any key presses.
I built qt-x11, qt-embedded, and qtopia from source myself. Could
something be wrong with my build? Can anyone suggest a fix?
In general my keyboard works fine (else I wouldn't be typing this
smile ) I've got QT4 installed, and the designer from there works fine
with the keyboard. QT3 apps I've build also work fine.
I'm using Linux Fedora Core 6, if that matters.
Another thing I've discovered is that if I run designer as root (using
sudo), the keyboard works fine. Could it be a permissions issue? The
same thing happens with qpe (QT Palmtop Environment) -- the keyboard
doesn't work unless I start as root.
At first I thought it was a problem reading from /dev/tty. So it added
my user to the tty group. Still no good... I tried adding changing
the permissions of /dev/input, but that also didn't help.
This hints that the problem isn't with the build, though. Any suggestions?
