Re: Bug#521865: linux-image-2.6.29-1-powerpc: keyboard not working at all
Hi!
I'm forwarding this bugreport to the list in the hope that I'm not the
only powerpc person having this problem. It would be great if others can
confirm the issue - or even a "worksforme". If there is no worksforme I
guess raising it back to grave is justified because powerpc is a release
architecture.
Thanks,
Rhonda [fullquote of the bugreport for convenience]
