[gentoo-user] keyboard from hell (Logitech Elite Duo)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Gentooers. I've bought a Logitech Elite Duo which comes with a Logitech Cordless Elite Keyboard and a Logitech Cordless MX700 mouse. It's all USB and they all work with only one USB plug... I've been having crashes and I didn't know what was till today... it was the keyboard/mouse. I was using, both of them, with USB to PS/2 adaptors because I can't type on GRUB with an USB keyboard (is that posible ?). In one of the crashes (it was while running off the computer for the KDE's log out dialog), I unplugged the keyboard and the computer un-freezed and turn off correctly... so, I decided to test it as USB... doing the same, the computer freezed but unplugging the keyboard wasn't enough, I plugged in another keyboard, a (real) PS/2, pressed ctrl+alt+del and it rebooted correctly. Any idea of what might be wrong ? or what may I do ? NOTE: since this keyboard is complex, it sends lot's of weird 'commands', I remember with another distro, the kernel complained about not-handled keyboard keypress number I-don't-remember-the-number or something like that. - -- Pupeno: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kde.org -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/U2EULr8z5XzmSDQRArASAJ9aJ/8B5xbTDPK2RTrTrVmOYuPYAQCdGWCV RFXuqTGcc8dh4nUBcU6Mrcs= =xx4r -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Some BIOSs have the option to use a USB keyboard, which I believe lets it emulate a PS/2 keyboard. I don't know if this actually works in GRUB, but it certaintly can't hurt. -- Andrew Gaffney -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I can work in grub with my USB keyboard (fairly normal keyboard, few extra buttons that don't do anything), with USB mouse plugged into it. The computer turns on and off, runs KDE, logs in and out, and reboots without error. My Mum and brother use it, neither are IT literate and have no problems so it must work well :) Sorry I can't be of any more use. - -- Mike Williams -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/U47ZInuLMrk7bIwRAgF1AJ4hP/62h/CbnDVtgfUOshg96GdB0wCeL4Xr Nup48aX3GFs2jbwETH/pjqs= =xgFm -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I think my BIOS doesn't have that option... (it is an Asus A7N8X Deluxe), maybe I should try updating it to see if it is included.
