Re: Help: keybbbbbboard problem with 2.6.8 kernel
I've given up and gone back to 2.4.29. I'm going to try get the latest kernel
source 2.6.11 and try that. Maybe something has been fixed since 2.6.8.
I did try to solve this issue by getting the official (sarge) kernel image
2.6.8-k7-smp but still ran into the same problem.
Anyone have some insights or similar problems? This is the wierdest problem
I've come across in a long time.
