Someone also mentioned it on
fedoraforum.org, so this is not unique to my keyboard.I have
noticed that when I am typing, the letters v,b,f,g,r,t,4,5 do not always type, making it
very difficult to write emails and enter commands. The curious thing, as I just
ascertained a moment ago, is that the missing characters all line up diagonally on the
keyboard.I am using the pc105 character german keyboard setting with all dead keys, like
it is supposed to be, and have the system set to use utf-8, which is the default. I have
also enabled the xkbd compose key option, although I don't really need it, having an
international keyboard with dead keys, on the useless key to the left of the right ctrl
key.Could there be some problem with keysim mappings or something? I thought that, since
the keys all line up, that there could be a problem with the keyboard, but as I had said,
it has only happened twice in the last 3 weeks and someone else reported the problem on
fedoraforum about 2 weeks ago.kwhiskerz{> > Kwhiskerz,> > I have noticed that
