not a kbd bug. i8042.c is a kernel file.

Comment 2 Alan Cox 2004-09-16 14:50:02 UTC

E750x systems have BIOS problems. In the BIOS disable "USB legacy"
support and all should be well. Our newest errata kernels should also
do this automatically for these boards.

Thanks to Alan Cox...
I have set the USB Legacy Support to disabled mode, now the ps/2
keyboard is working...

Comment 4 Yeechang Lee 2005-02-06 06:25:37 UTC

I, too, can report that disabling USB Legacy Support fixed a very
similar keyboard issue on my system.

Motherboard: Supermicro X5DAL-G with dual Xeon 2.8GHz
Chipset: Intel E7505
Distribution: Fedora Core 3 (not 3 test)
Kernel: 2.6.9-1.667.smp and 2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp (I did not try the
non-SMP versions)
Keyboard: Genuine IBM Modem M PS/2 keyboard

Unlike <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=126168">bug 126168</a>,
<kbd>ACPI=off</kbd> in the kernel argument did not help. And unlike <a
href="show_bug.cgi?id=123851">bug 123851</a>, <kbd>i8042.dumbkbd</kbd>
did not help either; in fact, it generated many spurious characters to
appear on the screen, as if I were holding keys down.

Comment 5 Dave Jones 2005-07-15 19:32:58 UTC

An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which
may contain a fix for your problem.   Please update to this new kernel, and
report whether or not it fixes your problem.

If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem
still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version
field of this bug to 'fc4'.

Thank you.

Comment 6 Dave Jones 2005-10-03 00:11:23 UTC

This bug has been automatically closed as part of a mass update.
It had been in NEEDINFO state since July 2005.
If this bug still exists in current errata kernels, please reopen this bug.

There are a large number of inactive bugs in the database, and this is the only
way to purge them.

Thank you.
