this has come up a couple of times on the G1G1 user forums, and<br>
it feels like there should be a simple solution, and i'm hoping<br>
someone here will have an idea.<br>
<br>
when laptops suffer the stuck-key keyboard problem, it not only<br>
renders the builtin keyboard useless, but also an external<br>
keyboard, due to the stuck control or alt key.<br>
<br>
might it be possible to disable the builtin keyboard either by<br>
manipulating a node under /sys/class/input/input3/..., or by editing<br>
xorg.conf? there's clearly a chicken/egg problem here, since the<br>
user might not even be able to type enough to fix the problem.<br>
but it might be worth a try.<br>
