Description Brian "netdragon" Bober 2004-09-25 08:40:20 UTC

Description of problem:
I have a Logitech Cordless Mx Duo set with a Logitech Cordless Elite
Keyboard it comes with. I can type on the login screen of X, in the
bash prompt without X loaded, in X screensaver, and in KDE... But in
Gnome, when I try to use any application such as gedit within Gnome, I
cannot type. All I get is the cursor flashes whenever I attempt to type.

Additional info:

I have this all attached to a Belkin SOHO-4port USB PS/2 KVM switch,
too, if it helps, but I don't really think it's relevant. I haven't
tried doing it without the switch yet or using the USB connectors on
the switch (I will, so remind me to say what happened if I forget).
I'm using the PS/2 connectors on the keyboard.

Maybe Gnome is a better place for this (I am not really sure).

I can also type when I log into Gnome as root.

Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
