Hi,
Your kbd package needs updating.
Dave
thank you for your response. May I ask you for a little more informative
answer? Even if the kbd package needs updating (i will check this right
away), everything works fine with the default Fedora kernel.
I do not understand why updating from kernel 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-i686 to
linux-2.6.15.7 should result in such a strange behaviour??
Because the behaviour changed in 2.6.15. It was a security issue iirc,
where a user could program a key to do something after they had logged out.
2.6.15 closed that hole, but broke userspace. Hence, an updated kbd that
did things differently was needed.
