i wrote... Sometimes my keyboard ends up in a weird state: I can't switch console ttys; no keyboard input is accepted (even under X with "secure keyboard turned on"); and it appears that the control key is "stuck" (clicking on any window appears as if i'd held down the control key before clicking). I got a lot of them last night and decided to switch to the july 3rd kernel. I got "stuck" again within minutes of booting off the older kernel. I have checked all the cables; nothing seems wrong. I did a sup & make world on Friday. I've noticed that the control key doesn't stick always; once it was the meta key, and a few times the mouse worked normally (could cut & paste). I'm now running xev to observe this problem if it reoccurs. One thing I forgot to mention was that I can "cure" this problem when under X by just killing my Xsession and logging in again via xdm. faried.
