Please help! I've scanned FAQs and mailing lists for hours trying to
track down the solution to my problem.
Problem:
* KDE seems to forget that I have a keyboard attached every so often,
waking up later. In addition, KDE does not transfer focus properly a lot
of the time. I believe I also have mouse-click problems (i.e. mouse
clicks are sometimes not registered)
* Gnome always transfers focus correctly but often does not register mouse
clicks. In addition, I *think* the keyboard occasionally goes to sleep,
waking up later. In addition, logging off from Gnome, the fade-to-grey
takes a long time.
My system:
ABIT-BP6 motherboard. I have recompiled the kernel tens of times and
never once had a problem. In addition, my system never OOPS and seems
generally 100% stable. I have 128 megs of RAM and a TNT2 video card. I
have tried Debian Linux (2.2 and 2.1) and Storm Linux 2000 (based on
Debian 2.1). I have tried kernels 2.2.14, 2.2.13, 2.3.49, and 2.0.38.
2.0.38 is *much* better than the others but still exhibits mouse-click
problems. I use XFree86 3.3.5, I think, though perhaps .4 or .6. My
kernel is compiled with gcc 2.7.2.3.
I have disabled APM and enabled the real time clock.
I have tried all of these kernels with SMP turned off (everything else
exactly in tact) and this resolves all my problems.
If you want any more information on my system, please let me know. If you
have anything I can try, I'd be more than happy to. If you can direct me
anywhere, that would be cool. Or if this is a known-bug in Linux that
someone is working on, cool. I unfortunately do not know enough about SMP
or kernel programming to try to resolve this on my own.
Thanks. :)
