> -I don't know if that bug exists in non-X mode as I only use X.
Please find out, and provide that information here. Also please attach
your X server log and config file, and your /var/log/messages as bugzilla
file attachments.
Please boot your machine into runlevel 3 and indicate if the problem occurs at the console or not. This type of problem is almost certainly a hardware related flaw, kernel bug or somesuch, and unless I can reproduce it, then I can't debug it at the software level. I've never seen this behaviour on any hardware I've got access to, and nobody else has reported this problem either, so you're going to have to narrow the problem down yourself as to wether it is the kernel, your hardware, X or something else, and then provide those details. Please update ASAP. Created attachment 91389 [details]

Sorry for being so long to anwser. I attached the files you asked me for. I also tried to reproduce my problem in runlevel 3 but I couldn't. BUT that doesn't mean that can't happen in runlevel 3 because in fact it happens so rarely that I should use my machine in runlevel 3 for 1 whole day to be perfectly sure that never happens un rl3. If I happen to reproduce it in runlevel 3, I'll tell you here, on bugzilla. Thanks for your time ! I finally happened to reproduce the bug in non-X mode. Here's what happened. I was trying to type spanish characters (just for fun...) so I tried to combine ALT-GR, CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, FN, the WINDOWS KEY etc... with normal letters quite randomly and check what it wrote (I did it in X). After a while, I noticed that when I typed normal letters (without any modifier pressed), strange symbols appeared. I understood that one (or more) of the modifiers I tried was probably blocked. SO, I switched to the first non-X virtual screen (CTRL-ALT-F1). There, I tried to log in. typing my login worked (julo) but trying to type numbers (SHIFT+1 on my keyboard) didn't work. So, I tried to press each of the modifiers one time so stop the strange behaviour. And that worked. I could type numbers again. Then, I went back to X and it worked too. I'll attach my /var/log/messages file. Created attachment 91393 [details]

As suspected, this problem occurs outside of XFree86, so it can't be an XFree86 related problem. It is either a hardware issue, or a kernel issue. I rather suspect the former, however I'll reassign it to the kernel component for comment. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 74635 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
