Comment 2 for bug 162296

not sure if this is the correct forum , but sounds like the problem i'm having. when in my ubuntu dapper os running in a b/w g3 and i open the terminal to enter a command , as soon as i iniate the cursor , the next thing that happens is that a string of continuous 0000000000000 is entered until i have to close the terminal. this also happens when i'm entering an address or a search word in firefox ver 1.5.0.13pre. i try not to send the input because i know that will crash , thus giving elevated priviliges. any suggestions as to a solution?
