Trap on USBHID

I have two RC5 installations C: and F:.  Both of these trap on USBHID when the computer is selected via the KVM. If I plug the mouse AND keyborad in directly the trap does not occur. I thought to try a differenct USBHID driver but the file is  not used in older versions of OS/2, 1.2, 4.0, etc.

Any suggestions, please?

Hi Gary

File a bug report against the problem in the eCS BugTracker.

Reason: eCS are reported to have a replacement USB stack in development. If you file a bug there is a chance a "cure" will appear in the replacement USB stack. What I have no idea on is how soon that will be...


It is possible that the use/installation of the ACPI driver may have some bearing on the problem - that leads onto a few questions...  :-)

Is ACPI in use?

If "Yes" have you updated to the latest, v3.11, from the Betazone? - and: What switches are used on the PSD= line in the config.sys file?

What hardware ie mainboard chipset and CPU(s ?) are in use?

Regards

Pete

Been moving USB devices (kb/mouse) around and changing mfr's . Once I got rid of the MS wireless kb(s) and MS wireless Mouse(s) the problem seems to  have resolved itself.  (I'm knocking on wood<G>) been working good thru dozens of KVM switch overs all day.

Actually, there was a problem in Bug Tracker about KVM, do a quick search, it may help you in the future.
Just waiting for eCS to have all the features................

That was my submitted bug and the answer (kinda) worked.  But not contented with using two different mouse(s) for my KVM (WinXP OS's  and OS2) I had to start playing around with other drivers.  The first TrapD was for USBKBD, after that NOTHING would would stop me from getting a TrapD, except now it was USBHID, eventually.  Maybe one switchover perhaps a dozen but it was going to happen.  I tried so many variations of keyboard and mouse drivers that  I thought for sure I was going to catch my tail.  The only thing that eventually got me to a stable setup (normal install with amouse drivers) was the MS keyboard had such short range (about 4 in) and the mouse was going thru so many batteries because it never went to sleep, that I changed them both out and all the traps went away both on the virgin (no driver changes) install and the one which only god might have know what combo I had<G>.  The only thing wrong now and this was was always a problem for me with 1.2, is that the keys will not repeat.
