next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
My recent, minor updates to XFree86 and Gnome 2.8 have resulted in one major and one minor problem: keys skip or stick, and there is a 100 sec. delay between logging on and the first time the Actions / Logout dialog box will open. I thought the keyboard problem was a result of upgrading XFree86, but it does not occur when I logon to a session with X but without Gnome. (It also does not happen using the plain old text console interface.) Keyboard will start fine, but after a minute or two keys start to stick, repeating as if held down. Sometimes hitting another key will unstick it, sometimes all I can do is cycle power :-( Work-around is to un-check "Key presses repeat when key is help down" in the Keyboard Preferences dialog. That prevents runaway keys, but it does not fix another artifact: pressing a key, especially the Enter key has no effect. (Perhaps because that generates two keycode events?) (After typing this I have to go back and add missing letters!) Eventually I get no input from the keyboard and have to mouse-click my way to a logoff and nice re-boot. Yesterday I cvsup'ed my ports tree and did portupgrade -arR (this updated mozilla) portupgrade -fr gnome2 portupgrade -fR gnome2 The last one takes a long time, so I went home. Still broken today, no change. (I'm not a portupgrade wizard, buy any means.)
