Bug#584973: So, no Cherry Support?

2011-01-27 Thread Thomas Walter

Hi,

I'm not sure if I understand your statement correctly.

Does this mean that everyone owning a Cherry keyboard will not be able 
to install Debian 6 until version 6.0.1 comes out?


IMHO this _is_ kinda critical.

Cherry is one of the world's oldest keyboard manufacturers. The Cherry 
homepage even says that in Germany over half of office desks are 
equipped with Cherry keyboards...


I don't know how far they are spread over the world, but it feels like a 
lot of people might have to wait even longer for their long awaited 
Debian release.


Greetings

Bug#584973: Cherry G230 keyboard freezes on language selection

2011-01-14 Thread Thomas Walter
I'm having the same problem with a Cherry G230 keyboard and either rc-1 
and the daily build 2011-01-14 i386 netinstall CDs.


I can choose to install at boot, but as soon as the language selection 
is displayed, the keyboard freezes.


AFAIK Cherry keyboards are quite popular, so the hid-cherry module 
really is required.


Kind regards,
 Thomas Balu Walter
