Your problem seems to be something else. Do the keyboard LEDs still work (press caps or num lock)? Do you have the chance to swap hardware? It's hardly believable that the driver would lock up, since apparently nothing has been done with the keyboard. I'm close to blame the hardware first in this case... -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
