On my laptop (Compaq Presario 1500T) whenever I try to log in, linux does not
recognize the enter key.  If I use an external keyboard to log in, the laptop
enter key will function properly within the terminal window and Xwindows, but it
will not let me press enter to log in.

Odd. The only think I can think is that some quirk of the laptop keyboard trips
up the keyboard/terminal driver.

L.S., I have the same problem using RH73 on a Compaq Evo N1000v; any chance 
there's a solve / workaround at this moment?

Comment 3 Mark Bouman 2002-11-22 09:36:30 EST

two additions:

a) using RH73 with an external keyboard (via PS/2) I was able to use 
the 'enter' key

b) having installed RH80 just yet, I am able to log on without problems
(Case solved for me)
