After I posted it, I searched old postings for answer  from dejanews.
The problem exists on compaq EP series (mine is EN).
They sugest the problem is partial keyboard reset by linux which the
compaq motherboard doesn't like.
There seems to be a patch for kernal 2.1.?? but I installed RedHat 5.1 and
Kernal 2.0.34?, and still haven't figured out how to solve it for this
earlier version of the kernal.
Is it possible to just download the kernal 2.1.xx and the kbd patch and
change the image file accorrdignly to use the new kernal, and keep the 2.0
libraries? Will it work?
