What I don't really understand in the whole threading vs. signals discussion is why the kernel cannot buffer in a queue of some sort those signals before processing them. They wouldn't be lost anymore and the kernel could process them at its own pace. 2011/4/29 Marius Kotsbak <124...@bugs.launchpa

This problem does exist on Ubuntu. Like I said before, the only workaround I know of is to take the mouse out and plug it back in. This fixes the keyboard for some reason. I only have this problem on an AMD processor. On Mon, Aug 4, 2008 at 4:39 AM, legolas558 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The
