From: ckurs-2@orville.uni-mainz.de (Teilnehmer am C-Kurs WS 1992_93) Subject: Keyboard problems on Amstrad PC2386 under 0.98pl5 Date: Mon, 30 Nov 1992 18:45:46 GMT
I have a rather serious problem with my keyboard:
Everytime i touch one of the lock keys (CAPS, SCROLL, NUM, PAUSE or PRT SCREEN)
my keyboard 'switches the lights on' and hangs, but running tasks are not
affected. So this seems to be a problem with the keyboard driver (timing ?).
But if i use X it seems to work for a while until the keyboard locks up.
Has anybody encountered a similiar problem ( maybe my keyboard is defective?) or
is it just one of the famous Amstrad 'features'? Does anybody has a suggestion or
a work-around ?
BTW I encountered the same problem under 0.98pl1!
