Question Keyboard


Hi all,

I have a Gateway Pentium III system with 256 mb of ram and running a dual boot windows ME & Red hat linux 9.

The keyboard reaction time when running linux 9 is very slow and sometimes there is no reaction at all when I press a key and have to repeat it several times before anything happens. I dont have any problems when running windows.
Can someone please explain why I am having this problem ?

thanks,

J.C

Are you using a USB keyboard? If you are using a USB keyboard, do you have the same problem with a PS/2 keyboard?

I have a system with the same specs, I find something like Ubuntu works much nicer on it for speed. Red Hat releases tend to be bloated.

You might also want to shut off all unneeded services. I can't personally remember how to do that with Red Hat 9 though.
