Hi *,
for some time now I have a problem with the keyboard on my notebook. It becomes extremely slow, i.e. only one or two keypresses are shown every 10 seconds. Special keyboard shortcuts like Alt-F4 or Ctrl-F5 are working as expected. Switching to a Linux console with Ctrl-Alt-[0-9] is still working, too. In the Linux console typing works without any problems then. Switching back to KDE again/still shows the problem. The only "solution" I found is to logout and login. For a while the keyboard then works as expected, until the same problem reoccurs. The intervals the problem shows up vary between once an evening to every 10 minutes. It happens in all programs one can type anything, i.e. OO Writer, graphical terminals or even dialog boxes of any kind. It happens with the internal notebook keyboard and also with an external USB keyboard.

Any idea, what the reason might be and what to do against it?
Back home today I ran a complete memtest86 and the hardware checker integrated in DELL notebooks. Both don't show any errors. I submitted a bug report to openSUSE's bugzilla.
Next I try, is using a different user, after that I'll use xfce4 for a certain time.
No way to test with a different user. There are too many permissions problems due to mounted nfs shares, restrictive policies and so on. Login with a different user doesn't allow me to use most of my usual applications, because the necessary user files aren't accessible. So next step is to run xfce4 with my original user. Meanwhile I suspect RedNotebook to be the root cause for the problems. I am not sure, if it happens, because I write a lot of text (more than in most other programs) in this app, or because I copy & paste a lot when using this program. Does it corrupt memory somehow? In the last weeks the problems always occurred, when using RedNotebook. I couldn't find any similar report, though.
TIA.
Bye. Michael.
