I see.....   It has been a long time since I've used a wired PS2 keyboard.   However, when I had a RHELv4 system with a wired PS2 keyboard I noticed that the keyboard would become non-responsive if it were unplugged/plugged.  The X server would lose connection to it and would not re-establish a connection until a logout (which restarts the X server).

Frankly, the first thing I would do is find another keyboard and see if that helps.  I may be unique in that I've got an old keyboard on the shelf for emergencies.  :-) :-)


Ed:

I've only seen the problem under circumstances when there has been no unplug/plug, but your information that X server would not re-establish a connection until logout fits what I am seeing.

I've got a couple old keyboards (actually, the one I am using is an old keyboard, too).

Once I try Kevin's suggestion of holding down the shift for 15-20 seconds, I will swap out keyboards and use the one that came with the machine (HP)

Thanks,
Paul
