I wrote a few days ago about having problems with my USB printer, and someone 
suggested trying the
2.6.2 kernel, which should've fixed some usbfs problems. It seems that it has, but a 
problem with
my usb keyboard has appeared. 

The problem: after some time, some keys will be "remapped" to have different keycodes 
(xev
reported different keycodes (not keysyms), at least). Other times (as happened when I 
started
writing this e-mail), one key will get "stuck" and continue to repeat until I unplug 
the keyboard
for a few seconds and plug it back in (it will keep going even after I unplug it).

The only message in any of my logs is "kernel: usb 1-2.1: control timeout on ep0in". 
I'm using the
uhci driver. I had similar problems to this with the 2.4 kernels when I was using the 
usb-uhci
driver (the original one), but not the uhci (the new/alternative) one. Since 2.6 is 
using the uhci
driver, I didn't think I'd have a problem, but unfortunately I do.

My keyboard is a ms natural pro keyboard (with a dell logo on it). I'm using kernel
2.6.2-0.rc2.1mdk. I'm pretty sure Mandrake hasn't modified this kernel from the 
kernel.org release
code.

The USB hub is an "82371AB PIIX4 USB". I also have a hub on the keyboard, which the 
mouse is
plugged into (although this happens even when the mouse is plugged into the computer 
itself). The
hub on the keyboard is a Texas Instruments "TUSB2040 Hub".

Does anyone know what might be causing this, or how I might find out more information 
about what's
going on when my keyboard dies?

Thanks,
Nathan Owens
