I have the Jetson Nano 4GB. I have run into a problem with the keyboard and mouse not working, although running lsusb on the terminal, I can see both present. I checked the modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file, where the “blacklist usbmouse” and “blacklist usbkbd” was present, which i removed and rebooted but to no avail. The keyboard and mouse works just fine on other devices. Also, I have used a USB webcam on the Jetson which works perfectly. Its just the mouse and keyboard dont work. The lights on the keyboard arent even lit, but its detected as mentioned earlier. I have worked with the same keyboard and mouse on the jetson before and it used to work, but it has suddenly stopped working now and I cant figure out how to get it working again. ---

There is a second driver used when you log in to the GUI. This is a dynamic plug-in style driver (the NVIDIA GPU driver does the same thing; there is also an XInput driver). If this is only a problem in the GUI, then the key bindings to switch from the X GUI login to the text-only console should still work. You should be able to hit this combination and have it go to the text-only console: `CTRL+ALT+F3` If it works, then you have text mode login, and it shows that the X driver is at fault. You could, from there, go back to the X GUI. Usually it would be `ALT+F1` (the actual set of terminals is usually from F1 through F6, with the GUI one at F1; in X one prefixes with `CTRL+ALT`, but in text mode one prefixes with `ALT`). If console mode works it could help in any kind of rescue, plus it is a huge clue where the problem is. Incidentally, you could post the X log file. Find it (possibly via `ssh` or serial console) with: `ls -ltr /var/log/Xorg.*.log | tail -n 1` (usually it is `Xorg.0.log`) Post a copy of this log if you can. ---

I tried some troubleshooting the entire day and after installing the `xserver-xorg-input-all` package, everything started working. I dont know how or when it was removed from the Jetson since i was using it headless most of the times, but once a month I would use the keyboard & mouse. Thanks a lot for the reply though! ---
