Hi!
32-bitXenialPup7.5 working perfect in most computers.
But on iMac (test in 2007 and 2013 imac) mouse and keyboard not working in x11 desktop. I can type the password of the pupsave and the keyboard works in text mode, but when I launch "startx", keyboard and mouse stop working.
I have detected that the xorg.conf is not created on these computers
Any help?
Regards.

What is Xenialpup 7.5 installed on?
Is it a USB stick?
If yes.
Has it first been used on a computer, that is not an imac?
If yes.
Was a save made when you shutdown Xenialpup 7.5?
If yes.
That save has specific settings and configurations for the keyboard and mouse on that computer.
When you boot on an imac. It is using the save made on a different computer. Those settings may or may not work on a imac.
Try booting on the imacs not using a save.

Used on a computar thats is not an imac first.
But this morning I burn a fresh installation of Xenialpup 7.5 in a usb with the same result, mouse and keyboard not working on iMac.

Yes, but did it produce an xorg configuration file?

No, no xorg.conf file on imac.
In other computers yes, there is xorg.conf in X11 folder.
I try to force copy a xorg.conf of other computer when load in commanline mode on iMac, but when launch startx, same result, no keyboard or mouse works.

You get a 5 second timeout Puppy splash screen when booting, correct?
Is there a "menu.lst" file on your drive? Can you screenshot and post the drives contents if it's not?

Yes, I see the puppy splash screen when booting.
That file is not present in my usb drive.

Try the following...
Reboot.
Once that splash screen appears, type:
puppy pfix=nox
Then
enter.
After it settles down to your prompt, you're gonna run these one @ a time:
Code: Select all
modprobe hid-apple
modprobe hid-appleir
modprobe applesmc
modprobe appletouch
Once completed, run:
xwin
Anything?
If your keyboard, and, or mouse work, we can go from here.

Same result.
After xwin mouse and keyboard not working.
If I type lsusb the result is several "Linux Foundation 1.1 and 2.0 root hub", and "Apple Built-in isight", "Apple Built-in IR Receiver", "Apple HCI (HID mode)" and "Verbatim Flash Drive".
In /etc/X11 no xorg.conf file.
I try a fresh install of puppy bionic and mouse and keyboard works on my iMac, but my enterely and configured sistem is in Xenial puppy.

You should have mentioned whether Bionic creates an X configuration (xorg.conf) file. One other thing I can think of, outside of swapping kernels, is which modules get loaded under a Bionic boot?
