Hi Jim. You can search into system logs and look for keyboard-related messages, that will provide some hints of errors that could be happening. You can try from console: dmesg | less cat /var/log/messages | less Or from gui you can use the system logs viewer in Applications -> System Tools -> System log <div class="gmail_quote">2008/12/13 Jim Duda <<a href="mailto:jim@duda.tzo.com">jim@duda.tzo.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I have a very weird problem. Compaq Presario F500. Only about a year old. Recently (past few weeks), whenever I boot up, the following keys are non responsive; asdfjkl; and the enter key. If I wait a few minutes, like 3 or 4 minutes, they start working. If I restart a couple of times, they start working too, however, I think this is the same 3-4 minute delay. It would appear to be a hardware problem (bad keyboard), however, once the keys start working, I never have another problem, until the next reboot. Could there be some software issue here? I really like the laptop, works well, I really don't want to take it apart unless I have to.
