Do you have the new input layer enabled or are you still > running the old keyboard and mouse drivers ? I am now running the new input layer (with old keycodes). But I saw (rather, suffered from) these freezes already before the arrival of the new input layer. For a while I blamed it on Xpmac, where I seem to remember having had these even with 2.2.x kernels, but I am using now XFree-4.0.1-fbdev. > If you telnet to the box, do > you still see ADB interrupts increasing when typing keys or not ? You mean when I type on the local "dead" keyboard? I couldn't test this yet, because the machine from which I sshed in was 15 km away at work. And after a while I had the bad idea to type "hwclock -r", upon which the 6400 was really dead, so I could not test it any further. While I observed it, the ADB interrupt did not increase. -- Martin ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
