Does this keyboard work on the console? Anyway, do this: 1. Go to the text console and login as root (alternatively login as another user and use "sudo su" to become root). In order to go to the text console normaly you would use Ctrl+Alt+F1, but if the faulty Ctrl and Alt make this combination not work, then start a X terminal emulator (i.e. xterm, xrvt, gnome-terminal or konsole) and use the command "sudo chvt 1". 2. Run "showkey -s". 3. Very quickly press Shift, press A, release Shift, release A. 4. Very quickly press Shift, press Q, release Q, release Shift 5. Wait 10 sec to get the command prompt. 6. Repeat the same but this time use "showkey -k". 7. Send the result. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
