?? I haven't had to reinstall debian on my main machine in years.
It would be silly
Of course I am currently running debian on 25 workstations and servers at multiple sites.
And I have upgraded most of them over the years with no problem.
You advise me give up too easily, David.
The sense I am getting is that linux is moving away from support of ps2 hardware.
I saw a lot of bellyaching on the web from this bug on multiple sites. On windows as well.
I walked into microcenter today and payed $12 for a cheap usb m$ft keyboard to see if it had
a reasonable feel.
Not bad, and with it the bug is gone for now. I will report back.
I also bought a usb-to-ps2 connector for $15. I will try that too.
I just feel bad about the end of a hardware era, and I still have a cache of msft internet ps2 keyboards with
their good feel.

What do you think my posts are about? I have researched and posted.
I have even tried reverting to the kbd input driver. You have
to give credit for my having found that on some combination of threads somewhere

I suppose I can try a second clean install to see if it still has the problem.
Or else just do it with a debian live distro.
but my sense is that we are not just dealing with a corrupted install.
