wild. My way of saying ... never seen that before.

I can only assume you already reached for some other dirt common PC type
keyboard and plugged it into one of the rear usb ports.

I hate to suggest going backwards but do try some normal PC keyboard
using the rear usb ports and also, this may be a waste of time, give a
try with RC1 which was working well for me with all four cpu cores on
the same hardware. However I suspect there is some subtle diff between
my G5 and your G5 in some way.  Just a guess.
