Hi all,
With all the latest kernels (at least since 2.4.0-test12) I have had occasional problems with a PS/2 keyboard when switching back and forth between X and text consoles.
In most cases the problem occurs when switching from X to a text console, which renders the keyboard totally unusable. Pressing any key results in ^W ^E and other garbage. Sometimes pressing Ctrl fixes the problem, other times not even SysRq works.
The kernel logs the following stuff:
keyboard: unrecognized scancode (70) - ignored keyboard: unrecognized scancode (66) - ignored keyboard: unknown scancode e0 71 keyboard: unknown scancode e0 70
and so forth. I cannot reliably reproduce it though.
Can someone enlighten me whether this is a keyboard problem, X problem or something wrong with the kernel's console stuff?
