 One final, but remote chance - do you have  xorg.conf in /etc/X11 or any

 If yes, delete it or rename it, and reboot - it could be the cause by
 loading wrong KB driver.


 JD:

 Thanks for reply. I took a look and do not see any xorg.conf. That file
 was always a problem for me in the earlier days when it was necessary and I
 really am hoping I don't have to do one now!

 There is a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-**system-setup-keyboard.conf (or
 something to that effect as I am writing from memory given the Fedora box
 is downstairs and I'm on my upstairs box)

 I compared the contents to the one on one of my F16 machines and they are
 the same


Hi!
I am nearly certain this is accidental triggering of SLOW KEYS , a feature
to assist the physically impaired. It gets triggered if you rest your
finger on the shift key for 10 seconds. The kb is not dead, but slow. Rest
finger in shift 10 seconds again, slow keys turns off.  Ways exist to
reconfigure, there is a long bug report in the reshot bugzilla. I can't
send link from this phone,  but you should search . You'll find my name );

Re: Odd /proc/cpuinfo

    So I never paid attention to this since I always assumed the system
 will do The Right Thing (TM), however while going through servers today,
 I came across this discrepancy and was hoping someone here could help me
 figure out what's going on.

    While 'cat'ing /proc/cpuinfo I see this (other information removed):

        vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
        cpu family      : 15
        model           : 4
        model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz
        stepping        : 10
        cpu MHz         : 2400.000
        cache size      : 2048 KB

    Someone please explain to me how the CPU is a 3.4GHz CPU (which I've
 verified by reading it right off of the top of the processor) and yet
 two lines down it says that it's 2400.000 MHz (or 2.4GHz)  What happened
 with the missing 1GHz?  The second CPU reports the same thing.


Speedstep?

By default, it is running, even on newish desktops, and they don't
always go full out.

    Is this a motherboard issue?  Possibly not configured right?  If so,
 boy do I feel stupid considering this machine has been in production for
 a long time and no one's ever noticed.

    Comments?
