said Dan Youngquist:
| At this point it seems to me more like a hardware compatibility
| issue between the USB keyboard adapter and the docking station.
| Sometimes perfectly good devices just don't play nicely together
| with certain other devices in certain situations. (This assumes
| the other USB keyboard adapter you tried is identical, or at least
| uses the same chipset.) If you can try a real USB keyboard, or a
| USB adapter with a different chipset, I suspect the problem may
| disappear. Also, try a live CD of a different Linux -- different
| kernel, display manager, DE, etc. -- and see what happens.
i would agree but for the fact that the aberrant behavior is not
displayed until x starts. both keyboards work uneventfully in a linux
text-based boot. not a hiccup. this suggests, if it does not prove, a
configuration issue.
thanks. i'll live with it!
