Hi

I have this old 486-dx2 66Mhz PC at home and it is running 2.2.1-Release. My problem is
that the keyboard just dies at random times. Sometimes it happens after bootup at the xdm prompt
and other times it would happen in X or even in a vc. It would mostly happen when I switch between
vc's.  I can always telnet into the machine, and the mouse keeps on working, but the keyboard is
just dead. Last night it got even worse --  I can type in stuff at the boot prompt, but that's the last
time the keyboard works. 

Any ideas? It is not nice having to reset the PC everytime as it is standalone at the moment.
I wanted to try the pcvt driver, but now I can't get into the machine :( 

thanks
pierre
