Weird Login Problem

Hello,

 I put the below message in redhat mailing list and group but no
hints! Probably it is not Redhat specific. Any ideas to fix this
problem?

     thanks,
     Farshad

Weird Login Problem

You're right, that is a weird problem.  The only thing I can think of
is that perhaps there's some kind of a keyboard driver issue.  Could
you try typing your password at the login screen to see if it looks
normal?

This may sound dumb, but if you have a spare keyboard lying around,
try it.  If this is a laptop you're talking about, then triple-check
all of the different function buttons on it.

Since you can log in under X, perhaps you can modify the appropriate
config file and tell it which keyboard driver to use.  I have no idea
how to do this, but I'm sure you can find that information somewhere.
