Hi there, I have just managed (after a few hickups during install) to get Woody to install really clean on a Sharp Actius A290. Apart from the fact that I chose the wrong video resolution (reinstall? I can´t seem to find any tool to change the resolution, and the X server reports only 800 x 600 available), I have the following strange problem:
The laptop uses a QWERTY/us keyboard. During install (text-based) the keyboard behaves really strangely when using certain letters. E.g. when typing the hostname and the like, for example an R will come out as R^[[ and so forth. This caused some problems during the password stage and despite my best efforts, I couldn´t log in in text mode. When using graphical login, no problems. The keyboard behaves fine in all KDE or Gnome apps. However, if I go into bash, this strange behaviour reappears. Like the keyboard was to sensitive and producing these strange characters. The only other machine I ever saw this type of behaviour on was an Intergraph Zx10, but also only in text-mode. Can anyone help out with this? I am past my knowledge here. Thanks. Hakim.
