Hello,
I am stuck with a weird keyboard related issue: Since a few weeks I see loads of ^@^@^@^@^@^@ appear on the text console while the PC_speaker beeps when this box is in runlevel 3. When xorg is running the ^@^@^@ stream stops, as does the beeping, but I can notice that selecting text, scrolling xterminals with the mouse are interrupted by these characters appearing. (but not printing)
Removing/replacing the ps/2 keyboard does not help. Rebooting does help for a while.
The hardware is a Gigabyte F2A85X-UP4, BIOS F5a 04/30/2013. I replaced the board last weekend by a brand new F2A85X-UP4 with same BIOS F5a but the problem persists.
What could this be? Is it really a software issue? If so: how could I help fix this?
Kind regards, Udo
