    Cant get touchpad to work on wirelss keyboard/touchpad PLEASE HELP

    Hi,

    I couldn't find a place to post Cent OS questions so don't bite if this is in the wrong place

    I have a KeySonic 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard with Integrated TouchPad which I am trying to get to work.

    Now there are some reviews saying it works straight out the box on Linux. This was almost the case for me.

    The keyboard works straight away but the touch pad doesn't work at all not even the mouse buttons

    I am running CentOS release 5.3 (Final) Kernel 2.6.18-128.el5

    I would really appreciate any advice at all, I have checked the output of: cat /proc/bus/input/devices

    Which gives:

    Code:
    I: Bus=0003 Vendor=05af Product=0630 Version=0310
    N: Name="Rx504B  Ver:3.03"
    P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.2-2/input0
    S: Sysfs=/class/input/input2
    H: Handlers=kbd event2
    B: EV=120003
    B: KEY=1000000000007 ff800000000007ff febeffdfffefffff fffffffffffffffe
    B: LED=1f
    Maybe there is some touchpad setting in linux that is set to off.

    If anyone could help that would be great, even on some debugging options as i'm a bit stuck.

    Thanks in advance,

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    This is the correct forum for CentOS, which is the Community (free) version of RHEL, so no one here will bark at you!

    I assume this is a USB device. They keyboard and touchpad would be seen by Linux as separate devices. Please post the output of the command (as root): lsusb

    Yes sorry there is a little USB dongle for the wireless connection.

    Here is the product: ebuyer.com/product/104608

    The output of lsusb is:

    Code:
    Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Bus 004 Device 002: ID 05af:0630 Jing-Mold Enterprise Co., Ltd
    Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Does that shed any light?

    Did you turn the switch on to turn on the mouse on the keyboard as shown in below video.
