Hello, I run a 9-CURRENT from end of October on an Acer D250 laptop; which in general runs very fine; from time to time (say once a month) I encounter the following situation within KDE3 or X11: from a moment to another (can't say what action triggers this) the keyboard stops working; there are just no keyevents delivered on short press to any window; I've checked it with xev(1); mouse is working fine and I can close the windows or the whole session of KDE, of course loosing my connections or the content of files I'm editing in that moment; the keyevent is only delivered when you press the key for around half second, or so, and after this also the normal key re-iteration is produced; its even hard to catch only one keyevent and not twice or more; this is true for all keys, including Ctrl and Backspace, ... after restarting X11 and KDE it is fine again; What could this causing? Thanks matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <guru@unixarea.de> - w http://www.unixarea.de/
