Re: Linux 1.3.34 on 755CX loses keyboard after a while

[Pete Lynch <root@beowulf.demon.co.uk>]

I had a similar sounding problem with my Linux 1.2.8 kernel. It turned 
out that when I accidentally brushed the red mouse button while in text 
(i.e. non-X) mode the kernel hung. Rebuilding a kernel with mouse support 
fixed the problem.
Interestingly enough, just running DOS without windows will also hang if 
you touch the mouse button.
