Re: Console keyboard & mouse stop working in gui
Thanks for the suggestion Oscar. I had downloaded the Feb 2013 SPP last week and installed it. So, the firmware is at level 2.15. I made the suggested change to the keyboard and mouse and rebooted the system. Again, as soon as it leaves graphical, I can interact using the keyboard with the console. After booting back to run level 5, the keyboard and mouse still don't work.
This may be totally RHEL 6.4 related. I also have a Sun X4100 that I have a physical mouse, keyboard, and monitor attached to. It is also running RHEL 6.4 and I can't get the keyboard and mouse to work while in graphical mode. Very curious.
I guess I'll ask Red Hat for any thoughts. :)

Re: Console keyboard & mouse stop working in gui
Did you set a "Policy" in RHEL that prevents installation of removable devices? I know that if you set this policy in Windows, the iLO Virtual KB/Mouse might not get configured properly and won't work under Windows.

Re: Console keyboard & mouse stop working in gui
I don't have a G5 or G6 handy to test on. since it works in plain text mode I'm thinking it is a driver setting in X configuration. I know 6.4 GUI works in iLO on Gen 8 systems. Are you using the Java remote client or the Windows based remote client?

Re: Console keyboard & mouse stop working in gui
Java. The ilo interface is on a non-routeable network. So, I have to open an ssh session to one of the servers in the enclave and start a vnc session. All of the servers in the enclave are linux or Solaris. I then start firefox and get in to the ilo that way. This has been working up until a week or so ago. I'll check the X configuration on a 6.3 system versus this 6.4 and see if there were any changes introduced.
I really don't think there is a policy in linux to prevent the usage other than maybe selinux, but only running that in permissive mode.
