Problems w/keyboard lockups

Hi,

I’m encountering a problem with keyboards locking up. I’m running QNX4.25,
Photon 1.14, with Dev32.ansi -Q -n6,
and Input kbd -R fd -d /dev/kbd ps2 kb -r -2.

Every now and again the keyboard stops functioning, numlock, etc. do not
light up. Restarting Input does not clear up
the problem and it takes a reboot of the system to recover keyboard input.

I think I have narrowed the problem down to newer Internet ready style
keyboards, but I cannot be sure. Only that
those are the ones failing and some older standard 101 keyboards are not
showing this problem

Any ideas?

This keyboard lockup is starting to happen to us here on several of the newer
computers. On the one I just was working on rebooting does not clear it up.
Keyboard works fine on other OS and CMOS setup on this PC and works on
alternate QNX .
