Re: Keyboard input ignored by 2.6.8

[Tetsuji Rai <badtrans666@yahoo.co.jp>]

I solved this problem by myself.   I had been using a USB mouse and a PS/2
keyboard.   After I switched my mouse to PS/2 mode and disabled usb mouse
support in BIOS, then 2.6.8 accepts my keyboard input.   It's good for me,
but it will affect people having only usb keyboards and mice...
