I'm currently using the | core EPSILON distribution (recompiled to enable NE2000 support) with | XFree86 1.3. I've got three questions. | 1) On three occaisions, my keyboard has died while in X. One time, | I was able to telnet in and "shutdown", at which point the system | dropped into single-user mode and the keyboard was working again. | The other two times, I waited 30 seconds for activity to die down, | then touched the PCs "tickle spot". | On yet a fourth occaision, (again under X), the keyboard driver seemed | to have gotten confused about the state of NUM LOCK (that is, the light | didn't match what the keys were doing). I've got exactly the same problem and noticed that under certain (unknown :() circumstances, the keyboard gets locked-up ... Only when i 'startx' on a syscons virtual console ... Tracing X-events with xev, i noticied that the key-release event is, when this problem arises, sent only when pressing the key a second time ... Not disturbing for 'standard' keys, but when it's a C- or M- key !! | Is this likely to be a problem with the FreeBSD keyboard driver, or | in XFree86? Is there any evidence (other than just some hopes or a | gut feeling) that this problem would disappear by upgrading to | [FreeBSD-1.0-Release|XFree86-2.0]? Maybe ... The Release didn't solve anything, and i didn't make the step for Xfree2.0 ... will get it soon !!! | 3. To what address to I send a request to join the mailing lists | FreeBSD-[bugs|questions|hackers]? Uh ? i would like to know :) -- salut zuzur ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |zuzur@amelie.frmug.fr.net | Ceci est une publicité pour FreeBSD. | | at home | | |arzur_e@epita.fr | FreeBSD, c'est bien, c'est beau, c'est ce qu'il | | at school | vous faut ! | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
