Roger, Or does LINUX handle it's own keyboard input directly from the hardware? If so, there must (I assume) be a key de-bounce routine somewhere, one would hope that one could change the 'comfort' values for this.
There is a way to change the repeat rate, but I'd need to look that up. Try another keyboard :)
Further to logging in/out, Can you please tell me if there is a simple way to log out of the GUI (i.e. back to the command prompt) other than turning the graphical login option off?
Control-Alt-F-key will take you to a text console without killing the GUI which you can get back with Alt-F7. I personally prefer to log in in text mode, then manually do a startx. Control-Alt-Backspace will kill X altogether.
I used a machine set up with LINUX yesterday. Today I can't log in. As soon as I type root as a login name it tells me "login correct"
Does this mean I have to re-install all over again?
What caused this?
