Hello, I installed latex in my slitaz 2.0. All of a sudden, my Up-Down arrow, home, Num Lock,etc; keys not working.In short the right part of the key board is not working. Please help.
First you must determine is software or hardware the problem. Can you boot into another operating system and verify that the keyboard (hardware)is not broken or swap the keyboard with another one.
If you narrow it down to software on slitaz-2.0 did you install xorg ?
Boot into problem slitaz with bootcode screen=text mode to see if keyboard malfunctions. When I do this in slitaz-3.0 hwconf.sh removes slim, after your test add slim back to /etc/rcS.conf RUN_DAEMONS= after dbus and hald If keyboard work's in text mode it may be xorg problem so configure /etc/slim.conf to boot into xvesa instead to test.
