From: John Feeney <jfeeney@redhat.com> Subject: [PATCH RHEL-5] BZ211446 Raritan KVM USB dongle needs to be added to the USB HID blacklist Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2006 11:54:11 -0500 Bugzilla: 211446 Message-Id: <45535D33.2040601@redhat.com> Changelog: Add Raritan KVM USB dongle to the USB HID blacklist bz211446 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211446 Raritan KVM USB dongle needs to be added to the USB HID blacklist Description of problem: During Installation the host tries to enumerate the keyboard/mouse dongle for the Raritan KVM. At this time timeouts have been observed. So if the system has USB Floppy/CDROM and if the Raritan USB KVM Dongle is being enumerated first then due to these timeouts the usb-storage driver will not be loaded. So the USB storage devices will be inaccessible. Solution: Adding the Raritan KVM USB dongle to the blacklist fixes this issue. According to Dell, the patch has been accepted upstream. This RHEL-5 generated patch was successfully tested by Dell. This is hot item for Dell to get fixed. --- linux-2.6.18.noarch/drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c.orig +++ linux-2.6.18.noarch/drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c @@ -1591,6 +1591,9 @@ void hid_init_reports(struct hid_device #define USB_VENDOR_ID_YEALINK 0x6993 #define USB_DEVICE_ID_YEALINK_P1K_P4K_B2K 0xb001 +#define USB_VENDOR_ID_SUN 0x0430 +#define USB_DEVICE_ID_RARITAN_KVM_DONGLE 0xcdab + /* * Alphabetically sorted blacklist by quirk type. */ @@ -1711,6 +1714,8 @@ static const struct hid_blacklist { { USB_VENDOR_ID_ATEN, USB_DEVICE_ID_ATEN_2PORTKVM, HID_QUIRK_NOGET }, { USB_VENDOR_ID_ATEN, USB_DEVICE_ID_ATEN_4PORTKVM, HID_QUIRK_NOGET }, { USB_VENDOR_ID_ATEN, USB_DEVICE_ID_ATEN_4PORTKVMC, HID_QUIRK_NOGET }, + /* Raritan KVM USB Dongle shows up with Sun Vendor ID*/ + { USB_VENDOR_ID_SUN, USB_DEVICE_ID_RARITAN_KVM_DONGLE, HID_QUIRK_NOGET }, { USB_VENDOR_ID_WISEGROUP, USB_DEVICE_ID_DUAL_USB_JOYPAD, HID_QUIRK_NOGET | HID_QUIRK_MULTI_INPUT }, { USB_VENDOR_ID_WISEGROUP_LTD, USB_DEVICE_ID_SMARTJOY_DUAL_PLUS, HID_QUIRK_NOGET | HID_QUIRK_MULTI_INPUT },
