Hello All
I am sending this from my Wife's computer because of the effect
explained below:
On start up, I reach the normal login screen and can log in normally -
from the keyboard.
When the full normal window manager display comes up the keyboard goes
dead - the mouse is OK.
I then restarted and selected "repair broken packages", then "normal
start" - the same effect was present - no keyboard.
Restarted again but entered terminal mode - the keyboard behaved perfectly.
Exchanged the keyboard with one that is OK (the one I am sending this
message on) - same result as before.
It would seem that when the X-server/window manager starts, the keyboard
becomes disabled.
Has anyone any ideas what would cause this and how I can fix it ??
Many thanks in anticipation
David Bowskill
