Hm. I take it that the mouse still works. I would say that there
is a problem with the the keyboard driver unit. The reboots
might be allowing it to warm up a bit and then work. If it *is* this
then it's new motherboard time in lots of cases.
You *might* try varying the A20 gate setting (which is on the same
chip) to see if that helps - but this is a bit clutching at straws!
I'll have a look at my copy of the Resource Kit when I get home
to see if there is any clue there.
Regards,
Harry.
