We have an 825SRX which exhibits the following annoying problem. Perhaps someone can help me fix it. After booting the system, the cursor keys of the system console (a 98721 device) act as expected. If I hold down a key, then the cursor moves in the correct direction, ad infinitum. However, after entering and leaving X-windows, holding down a cursor key results in the cursor moving in the correct direction five times, and then it starts to head left, ad infinitum. Has anyone out there discovered the same problem, or is it a glitch in our hardware? -- Neil Dixon <neil@yc.estec.nl> UUCP:...!mcvax!esatst!neil, BITNET: NDIXON@ESTEC Thermal Control & Life Support Division (YC) European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC), Noordwijk, The Netherlands.

Apparently this is an ITE (Internal Terminal Emulator) bug that is present on (obviously, since you bumped into it) both s800's and s300's (>=6.0). I believe a defect report has been filed. -- Shankar ("waiting for the fix..") Unni.
