I'm using a USB keyboard (on x86/uhci) without too much trouble. Occasionally I seem to miss a key release event, causing the thing to autorepeat until I hit the key and release it again. Also, the behaviour on pressing multiple keys simultaneously seems to be strange - 'grep' tends to come out as 'grerp' and 'mount' as 'mouunt' if I type them fast enough. That may simply be the keyboard's fault though. -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
