Well I've done this mistake, see
I logged into the superuser so i could make and make install
(since of some reason it returned as an invalid command in the other terminals o.O)
but before I did, I kind of waved my wacom pen over its tablet and since it wasn't installed (that was what i was trying to install btw ) the mouse went crazy and.. next thing i know
I can't type in the super user window :O
As if the keyboard was disabled :/ I know it works tho coz keys like atl and stuff still work but not the letter or the number keys.
I hope someone can help me
Id really appreciate it
Ill hang around here if u have any questions
Hehe ok, just wanted to check the obvious first.
What distro are you using? Red Hat, Fedora, Debian, Mandrake, etc?? I'd try logging in as root from the beginning and see what that does.
