Public bug reported: Before X windows is started its nearly impossible to type anything. Every time you press a key extra characters are added after the 'key' ]]M is the usual but some keys, such as the arrow keys write different stuff. I can type to do things like, login, by holding down the backspace key and typing in my login details which seems to stop the extra characters being sent. The characters seem to be sent when the key is released. I have a cellink RF combo, which is a USB mouse and a PS2 keyboard, both wireless. Once in any Xwindows the keyboard works fine, and I dont have this problem at all with any distro of linux before the release of the kernel 2.6.17... Anyone have any idea how i can fix this?
