Hi everyone, A couple of days ago, a very strange thing started happening. Every now and then (I have tried, but really see no pattern), when I type a character, it is replaced by a '\' character. Sometimes, instead of being replaced, it is simply followed by a '\' character. I have seen it happen in xterm, emacs, and vi. It only happens a couple of times every few hours, so unfortunately, I can't even do good testing to see if I've killed it. :( Recent events include: * an unclean shutdown (my battery died) after a couple months of uptime * first boot in woody (I dist-upgraded, and have been running it for a while, but didn't see the need to actually reboot... I love linux.) * fiddling with XF86Config to change the Emulate3Timeout setting * I often switch keyboard layouts, from dvorak to qwerty and back (which will actually lead to another question sometime soon) I would love to give a more complete bug report (contents of interesting files, etc.) but I don't even know which ones might be of use. Any suggestions? -ben -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ben Hartshorne ...Discarding smoothly, as we disembark, ben@hartshorne.net All thoughts that held us wiser for a moment ben.hartshorne.net Up there, alone, in the impartial dark. -M.
