I'm having trouble with my laptop keyboards, both the "native" keyboard and the usb keyboard. During boot, prior to starting x, both appear to be working correctly. Once I start x, the keyboard is practically non functional. Input is eventually received by holding down the keys til they become typematic. At this point in time all I can see are the keys I've pressed (i.e., just the "normal" results of the typematic action), not the "cmds" I have typed though. This is the pkg that is installed: Build ID: xorg-x11-server 1.1.1-48.52.el5 The Xorg.0.log file says this about the server: X Window System Version 7.1.1 This configuration has worked in the past but now does not. I don't think I did anything but something has changed and I'm not sure how to proceed. Any/all tips/hints/suggestions/clues would be GREATLY appreciated. Regards, George...
