Bug 13844

Summary: keyboard locks up when I page through a man page or menu too quickly

Description mulder 1999-09-20 03:20:01 UTC 
keyboard becomes completely unresponsive. Tried esc, ctrl-c, ctrl-z,
ctrl-break, alt-F2, alt-F3, ctrl-alt-del, space, enter, scroll lock.
Can't even change Num Lock. Had to hit the reset button.
Tried a different keyboard. Tried disconnecting & reconnecting
the keyboard cable. No luck.

How-To-Repeat: Holding down the space bar while viewing a large man page (like csh)
will do it every time. Once in a while it happens during normal 
command line entry.

Would you describe your hardware: cpu, motherboard, chipset, video
card...?

Have you used previous versions of FreeBSD and seen the same problem?

Can't duplicate under 5-CURRENT so probably fixed.  If it still happens 
under a recent version like 4.3-RELEASE we can reopen this.
