However the keyboard did no more work afterwards. As you can see from the llogtail a lot of things go wrong presumably due to a wrong memory mapping (free -m shows a wrong value.). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
