It seems there are some strange keyboards out there who have the problems you describe. There are several things you can do: - send the keyboard to me to have a look at what it does ;-) - start debugging the pcvt keyboard code and send diffs - compile your kernel with PCVT_NO_LED_UPDATE, this will stop touching the keyboard leds (this is for those weird keyboards like yours) - have a look in the code where option PCVT_PORTIO_DELAY is used and defined, switch to using the DELAY() method and increase the delay time hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@altona.hamburg.com Hamburg, Europe (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)nstall BSD ?
