No, that's not possible. Key table processing provides a solid wall between what the driver sends and what the core receives. The driver sends key events - the core receives commands. If the device wer sending something odd, that'd very likely cause the key bindings to be misinterpreted. If anything in all of htis procesisng were wrong, it'd be extremely unlikely that you'd be seeing something so apparently well-defined. >or the feature pack I doubt that the FP cluld be introducing this kind of problem. I've now seen lots of logs from BC640's with an FP, and none of them give any indication that the FP is interfering with key event packets from the base unit. >or perhaps to the 2.6 firmware. I also doubt this. You can send me a log if you like, in which case I'll check it very carefully in order to confirm. If you do, yes, I need to see the input packets. >I know my firmware was installed improperly because the device crashes >if I put anything in the "notes" folder. Maybe it's sending something >despicable... A log would reveal such a thing. Again, though, you seem to be seeing something so well-defined that, whatever is the cause, it really has to be the same no matter which device is being used. Another fact which needs to be considered (at least by myself) is that the core contains no code which is actively aware of virtual console switching, other than in the areas of cursor routing, cursor dragging (really, a special case of cursor routing), and speech tracking. The general code simply asks the system which virtual console is active, points to a structure which contains its state, and then does it's thing. The only thing I can think of which might cause what you're seeing is if your system is operating at just the right speed so that the switch, which is asynchronous, is taking place right between when the core asks which console is active and when it retrieves the cursor location of the current console. I'm not even sure if that's possible, but I'm still raising it as a possibility. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
