sluggish input. mouse is stuck while typing. 2.6 kernel
basically my system cannot mix the input from keyboard and mouse for some reason. sometimes when im using the arrow keys i get bizarre output, for example sometimes when i use the [->] arrow key it will suddenly print a bunch of 6s and it will keep doing it until i press another key. yes, i did notice that on the number pad there are arrow keys as well, and [->] just happens to be 6. but i am using normal arrow keys you know... and the Num Lock is on. this never happens on Windows.
while searching for an answer i found this long archive of emails between Pavlik Vojtech(SuSE) and Linus Torvalds(the linux god) discussing input issues on 2.6 kernels(which i happened to be using). unfortinately the archive was only a development discussion, and did not lead to any answer for my particular problem.
i suppose this thing has been on the air, so someone must know whats going on.
anyone?
PS while im typing this question i tried moving the mouse and it was stuck until i let the keyboard go. and of course i cant play any games in this state.
