I'm curious as to how people have tackled the issue of reading keyboard/mouse input on the RasPi with non-SDL programs. I've heard mumblings about people having to run tiny-windowed instances of SDL in tandem with their program or having to settle for the limited abilities of ncurses, but never anyt...

I've been experimenting a bit with OpenVG on the Raspberry Pi, and it's been really interesting so far. One problem that I encountered fairly early on is the issue of reading keyboard/mouse input from the user. After looking into solutions such as using ncurses or (somehow) directly reading from the...

What you are describing is a classic power issue. While the power supply you are using may start off fine it may have trouble keeping up with the current draw of the pi. If you have a volt meter you can measure the voltage going into the pi using the two test spots on the board. If the charger you ...

It just so turns out that in my room the keyboard works perfectly, oddly enough. Is it possible that one part of my house has some sort of interference that's messing with the USB? EDIT: In my room it doesn't work perfectly, either. It just works a whole lot better. Is it still possibly a power issu...

All I can say, try another keyboard/PSU.

Sounds plausible enough. I'll go dig around for some alternative keyboards! Is there any way I can get confirmation from the Pi about that, like an error message or something?

Hey, everyone! I just got my Raspberry Pi today, which is pretty cool! I'm just having one problem with it. I'm using Raspbian and an LG phone charger that I believe was on the list of good power sources on the Wiki. I have this on-and-off issue with the keyboard I'm using. It seems to drop the conn...
