We _knew_ that it tends to hang some odd machine (after hard experience when making this the default case in some release), and had to back it out again. Unless you find a way that works for your BIOS/keyboard combination without breaking some other combination, it is not likely to be fixed by somebody ever (since it's impossible without a machine that experiences the problem). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
