Ever since installing Red Hat 9.0 on my Dell Dimension 8200, the keyboard will lock up at times and lose characters at other times. The keyboard is a USB device Dell part number 06H257. The keyboard does have some hotkeys for volume, playback ,and a sleep button. I have no idea if these ever worked under Linux. This isn't a major concern at this point. The mouse is a PS/2 device. The problem occurs in the X/GUI and virtual terminals with no X server running. If I switch the keyboard to a standard PS/2 type keyboard, everything seems to work just fine. Does anyone have any idea what could cause this type of behavior? Regards, Mark -- Mark Minsky mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
