Crazy Keyboard

Nitroware · #1 24th August 2008, 12:08 AM

I am kinda new to Fedora/KDE, I created a server in fedora, then went to a laptop with fedora, and now I just imaged my Desktop PC with fedora. I havn't had any major problems yet but this. Whenever I type, 1 or 2 out of 5 letters just don't register. This is really annoying

, and I cant figure it out! I am using a USB keyboard with Fedora 9 and the latest (or i think) KDE (whatever was on the F9 cd)

Thanks in advance with any ideas!

Wow. Nobody has a clue? I looked elsewhere, and there was something about sticky keys and slow keys, but I dont see those settings anywhere. (If you are wondering how I can type this, im using my laptop which seems to work fine)

Is it always the same few keys or different ones every time?

Does the same thing happen on the console or just in X?

Nope, all keys. Im not sure how to get out of X, but it was like this when i installed fedora (whenever I typed anything)

EDIT:

Ok, I just plugged a PS2 keyboard in and it works. Thanks, (THE ONLY PERSON TAT HELPPED!).

Are you positive that this is a software problem and not a problem with the keyboard's hardware?

yes. I was just using it earlier today with Win XP. I reimaged it and this happened.

So this is a fresh install? I'd report the bug, this shouldn't happen as your keyboard should be detected at install time.

Btw, is this keyboard unusual? What country is it from? Is it any sort of non-standard layout?
