I probably will wind up compiling the kernel again from scratch since I haven't been able to make any headway with this issue. I thought I'd read somewhere that genkernel was working pretty smoothly and saved a lot of hassle, but I guess it isn't all it's cracked up to be. As for your questions, the loss of keyboard and mouse occurs while I'm in X, however, I'm in X most of the time, so that doesn't necessarily mean that much. And after force-quitting X (there's something interesting... ctrl-alt-backspace still works!), I'm generally hosed on the command line too... sometimes I get the wrong characters for keys, sometimes I just get nothing and have to ssh in from another box and reboot. I also did try showkey and I'm pretty sure I was getting weird random keycodes popping out... especially if I typed fast. My hunch is that it's actually something in the PS2 driver and not anything in X or the keymap. thanks again, b Moshe Kaminsky wrote: > Hi, > > I don't really know what's going on.
