Has the handling of > keyboard input somehow changed with Red Hat 9 from 8.0? Narrowed down the problem. It appears to be with the gpm startup script, when configured for a mouse, but when one isn't there. (I had done a setup with a mouse, and then unplugged it once I switched to using the Weasel.) Something about the gpm script is causing the keyboard port to have the clock line set to low, in the situation of initting for a mouse that isn't there. This causes the Weasel (or any keyboard for that matter) to not be able to send characters to the console. Should I file bug? (Basic repro is setup with mouse, then remove mouse on reboot, causes keyboard not to work on boot.) Chris
