Hello all,
yesterday i installed slackware 10.2. Had 10.0 previously.

As usual i was editing the xorg.conf file. In 10.0 i had "pc101" and "us" for my keyboard. Did the same for 10.2. But initially it didn't worked and mouse too wasn't working.

Then i first went for mouse:
MouseMan and /dev/ttyS0
mouse worked and surprisingly keyboard too.

But when i woke up today morning...i found my keyboard wasn't working.
It has 107 keys. TVS Gold keyboard.
The strange most problem is that when i boot to text (init 3) keyboard works there if i keep on hitting the keys.
But if i leave the keyboard for a while it stops working. It just freezes.
And is not at all working in X.
Already tried the pc101-pc105.

All the h/w connection are perfect as my keyboard is working properly in Windows XP.

I was googling... in a thread i found a user got success after stopping the "gpm" service.
Does that really helped ???

regards.

Edit: i've issues with DMA too. Its "off". But that should not be the problem for keyboard.

Did you change some other options in keyboard section? Try with this

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Also check keyboard layout in KDE/gnome.

Yo man..gpm has some problem.
when i'm getting to CLI, executing command
doing fine for me.

but i'm not getting the way to stop its script at boot time /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm.
How to do that ?

Just change /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm to non executable. chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm
