Switch to runlevel 2 and start "sax" to configure X11. After this the keyboard should work correct.

Yes, I saw this issue as well... the way I got around it was to do the following: * Start up the machine without using [xgk]dm (text console) one way or another... I managed to do this by repetetively hitting ctrl-alt-f1 as X was loading. * Stop [xgk]dm... in fact, go and configure the machine not to run them while you do this (just in case). * Run SaX and configure X to be either 8 or 24 bits... but not 16 bits (which in my theory is part of the issue)... try this and see that you get it working. If you don't, I can send you my XF86Config file tommorow. * Test it with a "startx"... if it works, get [xgk]dm running again. It was just something strangely misconfigured for my (on my U10, which is the same as a U5, just a different riser card and case)... give this a whirl and see how it goes. :) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ultralinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
