having a strange problem with my keyboard. It suddenly stopped working. When the x server is running, i cannot type at all. This drove me nuts once... same cat issue...
Your cat has probably pressed the Scroll Lock key for you .... very frustrating...
Try opening a terminal konsole in X, click the open konsole window, press the Scroll Lock button on your keyboard, and then try typing....
Let me know.
It could be the cats fault. I have to clean my KB yearly because of them. Carefully remove your keys minding the order and clean out with q-tips and either simple green or alcohol. The problem I have is intermittency when the KB gets dirty. BTW test the KB while in mode 3 without the X server use something simple like mc to test it. Then run startx. If it works then likely its a config error. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/
