Dell Latitude D820 laptop, with a USB-connected Microsoft Natural keyboard. I don't think it's the USB subsystem going *completely* bonkers, as the USB-connected trackball mouse functions just fine when this happens... > What laptop is that, please? Is the keyboard PS/2-connected or > USB-connected? Could you obtain evtest output from the buggy cases please? Hmm.. Got a pointer to a usable copy? The best I could find googling for 'linux evtest' was: https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/packages/utils/event_test/src/evtest.c which wants a /dev/inputN - all I have is /dev/input/ and entries under that for the laptop's onboard mousepad and the trackball mouse, no keyboard entry. Hmm part two: % zgrep EVDEV /proc/config.gz # CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV is not set Should I be looking at rebuilding the kernel with this =m?
