Hello, I've noticed an odd keyboard/mouse lockup on my HP Pavilion N5430 laptop since moving to Gentoo. The keyboard and mouse sometime go non-responsive... but a quick flick of the momentary-contact power switch unlocks it. (It's a soft switch, of course - just generating an interrupt, not yanking the current.) I've seen it both in X and on the console, and I do not run gpm - so the kernel seems to be implicated. I'm running the current 2.4.20-r5 gentoo-sources kernel.
I haven't ruled out the possibility that the entire system is locked up - I'll try a remote connection to it the next time it happens. Whatever... it appears to recover cleanly with the hit on the power switch. Does this behavior ring a bell with anyone? Nathan Meyers [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
