| |
hi,
i am running 2.5 kernels, 2.5.70 right now and i always have this keyboard problem: when booting, usb kbd and a ps/2 kbd gets installed. but when i first try to use them, one keypress gives me 5+ chars. so would have to login with "rrrrrooooooootttttt" as user name.
when i unplug/replug say the usb kbd, the usb kbd is working right, while the ps/2 kbd is still behaving this weird. i have to unplug/replug the ps/2 kbd too.
i *think* i read this thing in a FAQ already but i couldn't remember.
kernelnewbies.org or the lk-ml FAQ gave nothin, a chat on #kernelnewbies made me believe something very strange is going on.
for clarification i want to repeat the problem in another way:
- one ps/2 keyboard *and* one usb keyboard is plugged into the PC (yes, i have _2_ kbds) - ps/2 and usb kbd support is compile statically into the kernel:
CONFIG_SERIO CONFIG_SERIO_I8042 CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD CONFIG_USB_KBD
- the computer boots up, the kbd driver get loaded, i sit in front of some login prompt (X or console)
- the usb kbd is only writing ttthhhiiiissss way. - i try the ps/2 kbd, it is also writing only ttthhhhiiiisss way. (i was able to write "root" in a sane way, but the password.....) - i unplug the usb kbd and replug it --> i can use the usb kbd. - the ps/2 is still behaving this weird, so i have to unplug/replug the ps/2 kbd to use it, too.
i noticed the problem once with 2.5.65(?) on linux/alpha, with a single ps/2 kbd connected. but the problem disappeared somehow.
Thank you for any hints, Christian.
