Hi !

These are the problems with the Console keyboard:

>a [1996/11/14] kern/2014  sos      Console keyboard lockup problem
>o [1997/01/31] kern/2632           enabling psm mouse causes keyboard to not

I think this one is the one for me:

>o [1997/03/24] i386/3082           keyboard locks up unexpectedly

Can anyone tell me, why this only happens with 2.2.x but didn't happen with
2.1.x ? This is a real big problem for me. I'm using the memory in an extreme
manner. I'm launching heavvy apps etc. And everytime the load gets too high,
the Console is dead. Even X and the mouse cursor are stopping (no matter 
what kind of mouse, it happens with PS/2 mouse and serial mouse). The keyboard
is dead (no caps lock, no nothing) but I can remote login.

Is anyone working on this ? And are there any tips to avoid locking up the
keyboard ? I'm using syscons and don't want to change to pcvt...

Bye,
	Udo
