Hello,
I run a 9-CURRENT from end of October on an Acer D250 laptop; which in
general runs very fine; from time to time (say once a month) I encounter
the following situation within KDE3 or X11:
from a moment to another (can't say what action triggers this) the
keyboard stops working; there are just no keyevents delivered on short
press to any window; I've checked it with xev(1); mouse is working fine and I can
close the windows or the whole session of KDE, of course loosing my
connections or the content of files I'm editing in that moment;
the keyevent is only delivered when you press the key for around half
second, or so, and after this also the normal key re-iteration is
produced; its even hard to catch only one keyevent and not twice or more;
this is true for all keys, including Ctrl and Backspace, ...
after restarting X11 and KDE it is fine again;
What could this causing?
Thanks
matthias
