Subject: [G] Tiger ate my keyboard and snacked on my mouse!
Another day on OS X, and another bizarre behavior...
300-MHz SmurfTower, 384 MB RAM, Tiger.3
I'm using my fav ADB Datadesk Switchboard (left-handed people are in
their right mind), and a Kensington USB Mouse (optical, two buttons,
scroll wheel). No kensington software installed.
For the 2nd time now, I've lost control of the system! Couldn't type
letters into windows. cmd-w etc didn't close windows. Basically,
the keyboard stopped working. Then I noticed menus not dropping as
quickly as normal when I use the left mouse button. But they're fast
for the right mouse button. And when I use the scroll wheel, things
scroll horizontally not vertically???!!!
What did I do to cause this?
The only way to clear it I've found is to actually shutdown and
reboot... ???!!! :(
Sounds like too little ram for tiger to me... (and processing power) but I
can't say if it is related to your prob, maybe it is some sort of revolt at
being starved...
Tiger's stomach grumbleing.
I donno. Very strange problem.
DIMM is on my list of things to get. Gotta pay for a few "sudden"
Black Friday purchases first tho.
