RE: Keystroke Capture

Have you checked for debugging options on the kernel keyboard stuff? Don't know if there is any, but you mey gety lucky. Does this heppen in X or in console mode? And, what exactly gets locked up? The system uses a Rose Box (KVM switching) to select which of the processors to display and access. The method of selection is to hit L-Shift, L-CTRL, n, individually, where n is the CPU number (4 of them) to select. *Sometimes* after performing this the image will shift to the selected CPU but the keyboard will provide no more input that the system can see. The keyboard that causes the trouble is an Orbit keyboard. We see the problem whether running Linux or WinNT on the system, but more often (as would be expected) with WinNT. Since the Rose Box intercepts the keystrokes, I'm not sure whether a user-level app will work, either. Thanks for the suggestions of apps that may work, though.

Keystroke Capture
Folks, Does anyone know of a function/product/tool that will allow us to capture all incoming keystrokes from the keyboard for investigation? We are getting an intermittent lockup that seems to be triggered by a keystroke pattern from a particular brand of keyboard and need to decipher *why*.
