- I'm starting to feel bad asking all the questions and giving none
- of the answers but I have yet another problem that'd I'd like
- assistance with. When I fire up XFree86 I get a couple of minutes
- use after which the keyboard either hangs completely or at best
- behaves erratically. By erratically I mean that it freezes for a
- few seconds and then responds or it will only respond to the enter
- key etc. etc. There is only a problem with keyboard input - all
- output to the xterm is fine and I can cut and paste with the mouse.
- The window manager stays alive through all this. The problem is
- unlikey to be hardware related since the problem only occurs when
- I run X. I have used twm and olwm with the same results. I have
- used the binary distribution of XFree86 and also recompiled it
- from scratch. Same results!
-
- If anyone can shine some light on this situation for me I'd
- appreciate it: this is all that's stopping me from having a
- working system :(
-
- Thanks, Eamonn.
