Hi all, having a strange problem with my keyboard. It suddenly stopped working. When the x server is running, i cannot type at all. if i open a terminal, and issue control alt delete the computer will shut down, so i kknow the keyboard is working. Also, when booting, i can select in the boot menu what i want. i can switch to another terminal control alt f1, and so on, and the keyboard works fine, but not in the x server. how would this suddenly change on its own? and how would i fix it? i really dont want to re install i just finally got my tv card working after messing around with settings for weeks! thanks for any help. steve Peace Steve Reilly --------------------------------- Stay in the know.
