Restricted terminal keyboard input in Puppy

[houndstooth]

Does this ever happen to anyone?

I'm using the Mainline Fossa 64. Exit to prompt.

Now keyboard won't take input. If I hold down a key it will eventually display characters, e.g., __________________[3 seconds of nothing then] "xxxxxx".

I only wanted one, but backspace is the same process. So the keyboard is still recognized but not working normally.

I didn't reboot to make this post. I plugged in a second USB keyboard that works a little better to restart X with xwin. The main keyboard, also USB, works perfectly once X is started.

I have seen this happen at times when building an operating system. It is a good chance that there are certain libraries that are not available when the system is dropped down to console level. I had behavior like no backspace or delete functions.

weird glitch

I guess I'll tip toe around it.

It happens with any key?

What is the make and model of the bad keyboard?

Do you have it set to anything other than a generic 104 key keyboard?
