Nope. Sad to say I have not. I have looked into the possible
modules, and I could only find one which seems a candidate for my
problem, ATKBD, and I have this compiled in. I have yet to find
anything else which may give a clue as to what exactly is going wrong
and so I am just not quite sure what I can tweak right now. I have
considered recompiling the kernel and using the above as a module and
seeing what happens then, but since I have never used that as a module
before I am just not very confident it will help.
In the meantime I have simply developed a habit of tapping the enter
key twice after booting, and this clears the trouble. I don't like
that, and I really do think things should work, but at least
everything seems to operate until I can get actually find out what is
going wrong.
