Hi there --- for some reason I am getting really weird keyboard behavior
on the CLI (no xfs or anything running). Centos 4.4 yummed up.
For example if i type "root" to login, I get "rot" or sometimes
"roooooot". Then other times I will have to press a key like 3 times to
get a double character.
Acts the same with a different keyboard? If so, is there a possibility
that multiple processes are reading the keyboard at the same time? This
can cause apparent losses when a bg process with, e.g. &>somelogfile has
an interaction with user. You never see prompt, but it sucks a few
characters up.
That was one of my next steps to try tonight (diff keyboard).
Now at first I thought maybe it was the keyboard, but it seems to work
fine when within gnome.
In all honesty I think i just have to get a different keyboard, but
wanted to see if anyone had any experience with something like this
(before I returned it) and a way to fix for the CLI. I have tried the
kbdrate command.
The keyboard is a wireless belkin with a usb connection.
Is it a "windows" keyboard? I have a wireless multi-media that needed
some adjustment with setkeys to get rid of aggravating messages. Check
the /var/log/message and see if there is anything helpful there.
For usb "I know nutting!" (Schultzy, "Hogan's Heroes")
Yeah it is a "windows" keyboard. I have never had an issue in the past,
however this very well could be it. I will read up on setkeys when i
get back to is as well.
Thanks much for the pointers. MUCH appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
