Lenovo B590 WLAN/Keyboard problem TC 6.3

(1/5) > >>

aug:
Hi,
i have installed tc with apps to the harddrive of a lenovo b590 and have now two problems for which i can't found a solution here or on google.
a. WLAN
    The laptop has a build in wlan-adapter Broadcom BCM43142. The file firmware-broadcom_bcm43xx.tcz is in the tce folder and in onboot.lst. ifconfig shows no wlan-device and the wifi-apps shows only a black screen.
The eth0-device works perfect.
b. Keyboard (german layout)
 All Keys workins in terminal mode (like in midnight commander) but not on the x-desktop. Missing the Symbols accessible with AltGr and can't switch the numeric pad with numlock (no reaction).

Any help are welcome.

I have a similar wifi chip.

a.)
You might need to blacklist some modules via boot code

--- Code: ---blacklist=ssb,b43,bcma

--- End code ---
I think this information was once included in the .info file of firmware-broadcom_bcm43xx.tcz but isn't currently.

In my case, the wifi device gets assigned to eth1. For convenience, I rename it using this code in /opt/bootlocal.sh

--- Code: ---# Rename wifi eth* to wlan*.
IFNUM=0
for i in /sys/class/net/eth* ; do
if [ -d $i/wireless ]; then
[ -e /sys/class/net/wlan${IFNUM} ] && IFNUM=$((IFNUM+1))
#echo wlan${IFNUM} `cat $i/address`
nameif wlan${IFNUM} `cat $i/address`
IFNUM=$((IFNUM+1))
fi
done
wifi.sh -a &

--- End code ---

I have to enable wifi (via Fn keys) before loading the extension.
If it's loading OnBoot, I have to either enable wifi while booting or before shutdown.
A workarounf could be

--- Code: ---sudo rmmod wl
# "Enable wifi via Fn keys."
sudo modprobe wl

--- End code ---

b.)
If you're using Xorg, you need to tell it about your keyboard locale independently to the Linux console.
/usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf

--- Code: ---Section "InputClass"
Identifier       "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard  "yes"
Option           "XkbLayout"   "de"
Option           "XkbOptions"  "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection


--- End code ---

And remember to include added files to your backup.

Don't know about NUM-Lock. Works here.

You might need to blacklist some modules via boot code
blacklist=ssb,b43,bcma
i have this line in extlinux.conf:
APPEND initrd=/tce/boot/core.gz quiet waitusb=5:UUID="..." tce=UUID="..." kmap=qwertz/de-latin1 tz=CET host=b590

... = only placeholders here
did i need to add the blacklist here?

b.)
Not sure which version i using but thinking its xvesa. Don't know how to find out what is currently running.

Yes, just add  blacklist=ssb,b43,bcma  like so:

--- Code: ---APPEND initrd=/tce/boot/core.gz quiet waitusb=5:UUID="..." tce=UUID="..." kmap=qwertz/de-latin1 tz=CET host=b590 blacklist=ssb,b43,bcma

--- End code ---

b.)

--- Code: ---cat /etc/sysconfig/Xserver

--- End code ---

I think Xorg provides better functionality for keyboards than Xvesa. So you might want to give it a try.
Otherwise, it might just depend on the software you're using - Aterm can't display unicode characters, Firefox can.
