Hi there - kdb looks great and I'd really like to start using it, but I am having some problems.
I've gotten it patched/built into my kernel with no problems. I'm currently trying a vanilla 2.6.9 (x86) with the appropriate kdb patched in. Everything boots up fine. I hit 'pause', and get the kdb> prompt, and am able to get in a command or 2, provided that i type slowly. However, the keyboard is, um, unreliable in that if i type fast i get repeated and wrong characters echoing to me (and im pretty sure its not the keyboard or my typing) and kdb soon freezes. The keyboard seems to work fine otherwise (not in kdb). Any ideas of where to look to diagnose this? This as all with a normal ps2 keyboard. Also, a quick question - I tried to figure out the current state of using a USB keyboard with kdb. From what I can tell it seems like support was dropped because no one volunteered to maintain it. I also saw various patches posted, and wonder if anyone has it working under 2.6 with a recent kdb? If someone can explain a little bit about whats needed to make it work, I wouldnt mind taking a crack at fixing it. thanks! --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.
