Aterm Enter Key Function

[jazzbiker]

Hi, Richa Rd!

Why so many mice in Your configuration? I see 3. And all of them declaring

Code: [Select]

       capabilities: i8042
which is keyboard controller chip. For example in my box mouse driver doesn't declare anything about i8042. The -s and -k options leads to the same program loop, the difference is only in the prepending this loop ioctl() call parameter, so we can definitely conclude that this is the driver issue. I see, that Your installed touchpad is Synaptics. Is it possible to switch it off using BIOS?

You can try to boot with

Code: [Select]

i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset
kernel boot parameters to exclude interference between mice and keyboard.
Maybe

Code: [Select]

i8042.noaux=1
will have some effect.

By the way, searching on "compaq evo n1000c keyboard controller" proposes several links to some keyboard controller firmware update to v.15.29.

The laptop keyboard controller firmware was still at V.15.24.  I upgraded it to V.15.29 using file HP SP31251.exe.
The enter key now behaves correctly in aterm.
Thanks to you and Rich for all your assistance.
