| |
Hallo!
I use the following:
echo "keycode 119=Last_Console" | /usr/bin/loadkeys
to switch between VCs. If I press the PAUSE key while SCROLL LOCK is enabled, it doesn't work (well, sort of.. try it) and if I keep pressing it, the keyboard hangs. C-A-Del is useless, too.
I've experienced this other times, always during a console switch. I see some "keyboard error"s in /var/log/debug, the times are those I may reckon, plus there are some other "keyboard error"s I wasn't aware of.
During 1.3.x and 1.99.x, keyboard errors on the console flooded on me only when I was pressing three keys in the same row, or something similar.
Also, in my /var/log/messages, where a keyboard hang took place, I see a row with ^@^@^@^@^@^@ (== \000).
Hope this helps.
I think I'll go for a terminal (or a whole 386.. I've bought some jumperless NE2000 clones for about 3$ each, ain't that cheap?).
All The Best, Marco
