The quick fix is to simply swap your high quality clack-itty dinosaur KB with its inbuilt 8042 chip for any new off the shelf modern KB of your choice from $5 to $50. However, your current selection of the Model M for modern use demonstrates a psychological profile that prevents you from taking the easy route. (Or, did you tell a half truth? Is this KB actually a newer Unicomp knockoff? If so the problem is probably not the KB) So, you can monkey with the BIOS A20 setting, try a PS/2-USB converter, hack up a20.c, etc, to see if any of these things work for you. If not, take option #1 and simply move on with life. Hang the Model M on a wall or something as a trophy. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
