And now a re-run of one of last weeks problems... I have some more
information now, though, but still no idea about how to resolve the issue.
We have a PC running Red Hat 7.3 that shares keyboard, mouse and monitor
with a different system via a manual switchbox.
PC1 : Keyboard/mouse/monitor connection of Linux system
PC2 : Keyboard/mouse/monitor connection of an old SGI O2
Input: Keyboard, mouse and monitor originally from SGI setup
The problem:
Under certain circumstances, the keyboard input on the Linux system ends
up in a state where characters can be typed, but:
1. Alt key has no effect
2. Arrow keys don't work
3. Auto repeat is disabled
This happens when (assuming PC1 is active and working as expected
initially):
1. Switch to PC2
2. Press arrow key(s)
3. Switch to PC1
- or -
1. Switch to PC2
2. Hold down a key until auto repeat is triggered
3. Switch to PC1
It does not happen if I:
1. Switch to PC2
2. Wait...
3. Switch to PC1
- or -
1. Switch to PC2
2. Type something
3. Switch to PC1
I have tried with different keyboards and also changed the keyboard type
using
anaconda --reconfig
all with the same result.
Does anyone understand what is going on here?
