Hi,
when I use a PC type generic USB keyboard with my G3, it works fine.
When I use the keyboard from Apple which came with the machine, I've
got a problem:
After booting the first character typed repeats endlessly.
I was hinted to the following passage in the FAQ:
USB keyboard problems (top)
There is a problem in some kernels that causes the first
keypress from a USB keyboard to be repeated over and over
again. A symptom of this would be the install system
continually asking "(I)nstall, (S)hell or (H)alt ?" To avoid
this problem, press the shift key before anything else.
But if I press a shift key first after booting the keyboard won't
work at all.
This is with a -current from last week.
Is there anything I can check out or try in order to fix this?
regards,
chris
