?? I haven't had to reinstall debian on my main machine in years. It would be silly Of course I am currently running debian on 25 workstations and servers at multiple sites. And I have upgraded most of them over the years with no problem. You advise me give up too easily, David. The sense I am getting is that linux is moving away from support of ps2 hardware. I saw a lot of bellyaching on the web from this bug on multiple sites. On windows as well. I walked into microcenter today and payed $12 for a cheap usb m$ft keyboard to see if it had a reasonable feel. Not bad, and with it the bug is gone for now. I will report back. I also bought a usb-to-ps2 connector for $15. I will try that too. I just feel bad about the end of a hardware era, and I still have a cache of msft internet ps2 keyboards with their good feel. > > 2. STFW for Linux and/or Debian support for your motherboard. > Search. Read. Join. Post. What do you think my posts are about? I have researched and posted. I have even tried reverting to the kbd input driver. You have to give credit for my having found that on some combination of threads somewhere https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=55373&sid=4c138a3bac92266f8464b4a9814350d4&start=60 https://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/InputHotplugGuide http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=79756 I suppose I can try a second clean install to see if it still has the problem. Or else just do it with a debian live distro. but my sense is that we are not just dealing with a corrupted install.
