I've run into a problem I've never experienced. I'll try to describe |
| 2 |
the setup first, then the phenomena: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Gateway laptop core due <whatever???> |
| 5 |
gentoo 2008.0 kernel-2.6.26-r1 running in a vmware app on vista home. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Let me say here that This app has run well for sometime but left alone |
| 8 |
for quite awhile. I'm not sure where the problem first occurred and |
| 9 |
it appears that at least on occasion a reboot cures it... but not |
| 10 |
always. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
This particular time around I can't shake it with a reboot. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The phenomena: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Certain keys are dead in console mode... not sure about X since I |
| 17 |
don't have it working currently. But an ssh console also sees |
| 18 |
this problem. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Key `e' and `/' when pressed just do nothing whatever. I think there |
| 21 |
way be a bell since I see a flash when ssh'd in from and Xterm in a X |
| 22 |
session on another machine. I may not have sound enabled... not sure |
| 23 |
right now. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Those two appear to be the only keys effected. Upper case E works |
| 26 |
fine and the uppercase char (?) above `/' works fine. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
If I press Ctrl-v and then the `e' if works... ditto for `/'. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
A search on gmane with `dead' `key' as strings didn't dredge up what I |
| 31 |
need. Mostly X related stuff in that search. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Anyone recognize this behavior or have a clue what might cause it? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Restart of udev and consolefont does not help. |
