I've had PS/2 keyboard problems in F17. Two things to try:
1. Hold down a key and see if it starts auto-repeating. In my case, the
first keypress is lost, but auto-repeat keypresses get through.
2. Ctrl-Alt-2 to a text terminal and see if the keyboard works outside
of X. In my case, it did.
If your keyboard problems act like mine, you have the same problem, and
it's a bug in the X PS/2 keyboard driver. Killing X resets it, and a
USB keyboard seems to work fine.
DJ:
Many thanks for this reply.
Sitting on a key does nothing per earlier tests.
Your comment about the X PS/2 keyboard driver would fit with the earlier
advice I got. I've got a couple replies suggesting such.
Right now I am trying another keyboard (PS/2) to confirm that it is not
a hardware issue. I was planning on bringing up another box under F17,
but I've got to understand these replies regarding X server first.
Its taking me awhile to get back to this problem and I apologize to all
if it looks like I've dropped the ball on my end. Plumbing in bathroom
is taking priority ...
