Okay, thanks, that's good to know. |

I'm aware that I'm mixing posts about video drivers in the same thread |
| 16 |
(that I started) about keyboard problems, but that's no accident: both |
| 17 |
topics involve kernel device drivers *and* differences between kernel |
| 18 |
versions. I think the two apparently different problems are related. |

Yes, I wonder if some of the problems I'm having are caused by the |
| 26 |
patches to gentoo-sources and/or ati-drivers that were committed by our |
| 27 |
gentoo devs, or are my problems coming from upstream? I have no idea. |

Heh. I just ordered a replacement Logitech USB keyboard from |
| 34 |
amazon.com. I picked the Logitech because it was from a company |
| 35 |
(Logitech) whose name I recognize, as opposed to the other keyboards |
| 36 |
that amazon offers under its own brand. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
If my new Logitech keyboard fails to work correctly I will try enabling |
| 39 |
the special HID support in whatever kernel(s) I'm using at the moment. |
