I'm trying to finish a milestone that was due last Friday, debug a problem that was found on my last milestone, and add a feature to Ingo's RT patch. So I can't get to this till at earliest next week. Also, I don't know if this is a kernel issue or a debian issue since I updated my kernel at the same time I did a debian upgrade, and I'm using debian unstable. Since debian unstable is going through some major changes, this could be caused by that. I may be able to try some other machines to see if they are affected, but that might take some time before I can get to it. The machine that I noticed this on is a SMP AMD 2.1GHz with a gig of ram. So the keyboard shouldn't be affected by the screen display. But I have had X problems with the latest release of debian unstable. -- Steve
