As for more info, my machine runs on an AMD Athlon x64 dual core processor
with M2N-MX SE mobo, and my keyboard is a very old compaq model - SK-2800C
(if that helps). Considering that, Do any of you experience similar problems
with Ubuntu, or is it just my keyboard wearing out ?
I have seen many cases i have seen hardware that works only on
windows. Also sometimes after a update some things may stop working.
This happens rarely in windows, but they do happen even on windows. So
it always helps to have dual boot with windows just to clear out this
type of issues. I find in my case most hardware related issues are
figured out by just booting into windows when we have problem in linux
and vice-versa. Although you may not use windows it still helps to
have one to rule out possiblites. I dont think keyboard issue will
solved by booting into windows, b'cos keyboard is a basic
functionality and PS/2 keyboard have been around for a long time. So
most likely it is cause of ware out. Just trying connecting to another
machine and rule out the possibilities.
