A few days ago there was a short thread (again and again...:( ) about keyboard hangups -- not during install-time, but during a normal (?) work under any screen driver. Some kind soul noticed, that this is really a "crazy hardware" problem and there is a workaround -- to hack syscons.c, adding 250 ms (?) delays before (or after?) any keyboard operation which touches the LEDs. Please anyone who has such a hacked syscons.c - send me a patch (I think it will be pretty small), I beg you! Or someone who knows, _what_ to do, please point me a right direction - I'll do this myself, but I'm not an expert on PC kbd controller (now, at least). Regards, and unmeasured "thanks!" in advance!
