Hi,
Wierdest thing. My keyboard has suddenly decided not to work in KDE 4.3. I know it's not a hardware problem as it's working fine in 3.5 (which I'm using to post this message). I have no idea what triggered the failure. It was working fine earlier today, I left my computer running, but not performing any particular task, when I returned, the keyboard was dead. There were also some display problems which manifested after I went into sax2 as a normal user (can't give root's password with no keyboard input). After a lot of fiddling with the nvidia config utility (I run twin screens here), I finally got the X display running as it was before, but I still can't interact with the machine.
Are there any files which might help in troubleshooting this? I was enjoying my 4.3 experience until this happened :(

Further testing seems to indicate that this problem only affects my main user. Another user on this system is able to type into a console window while logged in with KDE 4.3

It is Configure Desktop >TAB General > Accessibility Disable whatever you can until your keyboard is back. I got that and I have no idea what triggered it. Probably some bad interaction when system was busy, me trying different actions to get control over it, mismatch between application taking input actions and screen presentation what application is active, keyboard buffer delivering keystrokes to active application. In my humble opinion it is brave new world of parallelism in programing without supervisor that will synchronize whole system, or just a system bug. -- Regards, Rajko http://news.opensuse.org/category/people-of-opensuse/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
