I have a Lenovo T520. From time to time (but very seldom), the whole keyboard
is no more working (just hangs). It is a problem with X, maybe related to the
NVidia driver. In these rare cases I connect a wireless keyboard to the
notebook (put the dongle into an usb port) and can go on on typing.

I've set "XkbModel" as "microsoft" in XF86Config-4, but /var/log/XFree86
tells me "Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap"
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
I am using Debian 2.2r0 and wdm. Often when I log out of an X
session, and return to the wdm login screen, the keyboard dies.
The mouse would be still fine, but I cannot login again because
the keyboard wouldn't be working. It starts working again only
after the machine is rebooted. Sometim

Naturally as soon as I wrote the list I figured it out.
For the record the problem was wrong permissions on /var/tmp.
So what do I need to do to make tar set permission correctly?

Hi all,
I have been running Debian slink for about 4 months now.
Tonight I decided
it was time to take some more disk space away from Windows
and give it to
Linux, so I tarred (-cvvzf) my Linux partitions,
repartitioned the drive, and
untarred (-xvvzf) Linux.
I had previously done this same opera

I have just got Debian 2.0 installed on my Pentium 120 with no problems.
However, something strange is preventing its installation on one of the

When you telnet in, just stop and restart xdm if you are
running xdm. Any other lock-up can usually be resolved
by killing the process of the program you were in when
locking up.

I'm having an intermittant but recurring problem with the keyboard of my
computer. Every so often (maybe about 5 or 6 times a day), when I begin
typing, the first keystroke that seems to be received is the ` key.
Also, about every 30 days or so (although its done it twice today) the

Hallo,
I recently edited my .xinitrc to start a few programs when startx is run.
Since then my compose key does not always work in X and I have to run
xkeycaps, restore defaults and then it works again.
Today my scroll_lock indicator stayed on after I ran xkeycaps and I could
not get it of again.
I have a problem with a solution, in case someone else hits the same
problem. I also hope that someone can provide a fuller explanation of
the problem, since mine has a few gaps.
I installed Debian 1.1 on 12 September 1996, then reinstalled 1.3.1 on
9 August 1997 from Linux System Labs CDs. I tho
