What do I include in the bug? (I didn't notice > any logs that record an error whenever this happens) ---- funny you should mention this because I just had that happen with one user on our network but it was Fedora 7 This user couldn't generate anything on the keyboard and it simply didn't respond to caps lock, number lock, scroll lock or anything that I could tell but restarting, this would occur after KDM login. Other users on the same box had no problems so I figured it was something with KDE user profile. I moved ~/.kde directory and logged in as user again and the problem was fixed. I don't know which file it was in the .kde folder as there were many files with the current date/time. I sort of stopped looking for the cause of the problem because it appeared to be a big time suck. -- Craig White <craig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
