I have a strange problem. After a couple of minutes using DSL embedded, I lose the ability to type data using the keyboard. I'm not sure what triggers this. Any ideas?

The mouse and scroll wheel work fine, but I just can't do any typing.

I am using embedded DSL through WindowsXP on a DELL Latitude C610 with 1.2GHz and 768meg RAM, in case the hardware is any relation to the problem.

This happens to me every once in a while. I run winXP as well.
My fix is that i hit cntrl-alt-2 and type

qemu> stop

at the qemu menu then type

qemu> c

what this does is stop the emulation and then restarts it. It seems to work for me. Also try typing help at the qemu console prompt for more options.
