My problem is that the keyboard just dies at random times. Sometimes it happens after bootup at the xdm prompt and other times it would happen in X or even in a vc. It would mostly happen when I switch between vc's. I can always telnet into the machine, and the mouse keeps on working, but the keyboard is just dead. Last night it got even worse -- I can type in stuff at the boot prompt, but that's the last time the keyboard works. Any ideas? It is not nice having to reset the PC everytime as it is standalone at the moment. I wanted to try the pcvt driver, but now I can't get into the machine :( thanks pierre P. van Leeuwen Electronic Engineer pvl@nanoteq.com http://www.nanoteq.co.za
