FC5 on dell latitude D400 laptop
New to FC5, a friend recently helped install on my laptop. So far hit a few issues. Finally got a external usb keyboard / mouse to work. Anywise I noticed "udevd" process consistently consuming >80% CPU cycles.
Did a quick google/fedora forum search and see this process is related to hotplug, however no one reporting a similiar issue. so I removed all but essential (monitor/keyboard/mouse/internet/power) external connections and still same issue.
Also I had to turn off syslog (system > services > syslog) as all my shells keep scrolling messages below. And a popup from "KWrited - Listening on Device /dev/pts/1 reported the same. How do I know what device is mounted at /dev/pts/1. Maybe this is the root of all my trouble?
On top of all this when I shutdown/logout I see many irq usb interrupt messages scrolling. Scrolls too fast to see what it says though. Maybe there's an error log captured that might be helpful to debug this?
