Folks.
I've come across a weirdness with my current install that I can't explain,
and I'm hoping someone else can.
Every now and again, after various uptimes, the TTY which I'm working in
seems to assign a completely bizarre keyboard mapping to all keys - and I
can't reset it.
I can't cut and paste the keyboard input - but trying to type dazza as a
login name comes out looking something like xANNA, except the N's have ~'s
on top of them, and the A's are kinda slanted to the side {not much of a
description, I know, but the best I can do}
It only seems to affect alpha keys - the numerics, even down to the
shifted row about the alphas, work fine.
The sole and only way I can reset this console is to reboot - and it only
appears to happen to TTY1.
Instaled distribution is SuSE 7.0, default SMP kernel, on a dual processor
Piii/500 box with 220 meg of RAM.
Kill -HUP or kill -9 for the process running the TTY does not clear the
problem.
Any suggestions besides rebooting?
DaZZa
