This is not strictly a debian question, as I had this same problem under redhat 7 before I switched to Sarge.
There is some odd key combination that changes the way my keyboard behaves. I've noticed two distinct modes that it seems to get locked into: 1) Totally Insane Capslock. My capslock light will be OFF, but it reacts not as if it's on, but as if it's now a SHIFTLOCK and on. All of my alpha characters are IN UPPERCASE and all of my numericals are now symbols. It seems as if ctrl-leftshift will *sometimes* get out of this mode, but that doesn't appear to be what activates it (and I have no idea what does!) 2) Sticky-Ctl-Alt. This is a pretty nasty one. It's hard to tell it's activated, but it's as if I'm holding down both the ctrl and alt keys. I made this mistake of pressing backspace without realizing this was on and lost my entire x session. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Have I activated some sort of accessability features or is my keyboard just horked? I've tried doing some googling for this, but haven't really been all that successful. I don't have a programmable keyboard, I can't imagine that it's that. Any ideas would be appreciated. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
