Key repeating until Esc is pressed
Gusher123 opened this issue · comments
I got a specific setup that has an issue. I use an IBM model M SSK (PS/2) through a cheap active PS/2 to USB converter sold under the Bandbridge brand. I only use the keyboard port on the PS/2 to USB converter.
When I connect the PS/2 converter to the 'Keyboard' port on the Deskhop and my USB mouse to the 'Mouse' port on the Deskhop and A and B to my Laptop and Desktoop, I get a "stuck key" (repeating a previously pressed key until I press Escape) when I switch between laptop and desktop. When I switch again between laptop and desktop after hitting Escape, the repeating continues.
Initially I thought that I could work around this issue by plugging the mouse in the keyboard port and vice-versa, but after a while the same thing happened in that setup.
My guess is that the PS/2 to USB converter is to blame.
It might be due to ps2 to usb converter, can you please try the latest release fw that has a bugfix for a similar issue (when output is switched before a key is released, it used to keep outputting that to the previously active screen).
Same behaviour? Does it repeat on the previous screen you switched FROM or the one you switched TO?
I used the recompiled binaries from the 0.3 release from 2 days ago.
I also tried with one of my old mouses connected to the PS/2 to USB converter; the mice are not recognized by the Deskhop (the mice are recognised by my Windows machines when the PS/2 to USB is directly plugged into the Desktop or Laptop).
To answer your question; the repeating is occuring on the active screen (where the mouse pointer is) and transfers with the mouse pointer to the other screen.
When the key is repeating and I disconnect the PS/2 converter from the 'keyboard' port on the Dekshop, the repeating stops.
And I discovered that the A and B port get switched over when I switch over the mouse and keyboard. Is that standard behavior?

It's kind of not meant to be swapped (at least until I rewrite some sections to make this a "plug anything anywhere and it does the right thing" kind of deal).
I've tried my trusty old Dell AT102W through a DeLock PS2-to-USB converter and it works just fine. Had no mouse to try though.
It might help if you could do raw usb hid report dump to see what the converter is sending. Does the repeating always happen or occasionally?
Btw congrats on the nice SSK, those are hard to find!
This is the hid report when I connect the PS/2 to USB converter and USB mouse directly to my unix box (not using Deskhop)

This all looks OK to me. Could you also do reports when you press down keys (and release them)? Try holding a key too for a few secs and then release (usbhid-dump --entity=stream), but I don't know if I'll be able to figure out what's wrong from just that - I'd have to know what the box is doing too. Let's try and see.
This is the output of the Deskhop gettting into a stuck-key situation. This time the letter "d" stuck. In normal operation, when I press and hold a key, it just repeats 3 times.

Yep, it shows report id 1, no modifiers, and letter D pressed ... the missing piece of data is - what reports did the box read from the ps2-to-hid converter that made it keep sending D. For the keyboard, it just relays whatever it gets unaltered (unless you pressed a hotkey).
During switching, the box restores keyboard LEDs that were active for that output. Maybe the SetReport message confuses the ps2 converter? Probably won't help, but just for the sake of it try to comment out the call to tuh_hid_set_report in led.c and try?
Will first try with another Model M to see if it's de keyboard or the converter.

Please try this debug fw on board A, then open the corresponding serial port that gets created and see what is sent when this stuck key scenario happens. This might provide some info to shed light on the issue.

I will, but very busy in the comming weeks. Will take some time to report back.
