I put FC6 on a vanilla P3-500 with 768ram. After X comes up and the user logs in, the PS/2 keyboard becomes unresponsive after a few minutes of use. In order to get a keystroke to register on the screen, either in a terminal or an X window, the user has to hold each key for about a second before it shows up on the screen. I've installed and used _many_ distros and BSD's and have never seen behaviour like this. Googling shows no precedents. Any comments?

Is the feature which provides various accommodations for vision, mobility and other impairments turned on? Also the "dead-key" feature which allow use of non-English characters to be entered from a US-EN keyboard.

Solved. For some reason "slow keys"had been enabled.


Excellent! Sort of the same thing happened to me with FC1 and then FC2 .... took a while before I figured it out.

Cheers,

Dave
