Well, drat --- that's no good. Sorry for the delay in responding.

Do the old and new computers use the same kernel?

Thanks for reporting it. Basic questions:

- What kernel version do you use? "dpkg-query -W linux-image-$(uname -r)"
should say.

- Please attach the output of "dmesg" immediately after boot and the
output of

/usr/share/bug/linux-image-$(uname -r)/script 3>&1

any time, so we can get a better idea of how the kernel perceives
your hardware.

- Have you tried any other kernel versions? Did previous versions work?
Any workarounds (e.g., do other keyboards work)? Any other weird
symptoms that could shed light on this?

Regards,
Jonathan
