    I have a somewhat interesting M17x problem. I'm using a cygwin terminal to run a linux program, which has been working on others windows machines with no problems. Tonight I was using it and in the terminal window the = is continually repeated making the windows unusable. Initially I thought that this was some sort of software problem, since in word or as im typing now the = sign doesn't show up and i can still use the key, so I reinstalled the software and the same problem occurred. I remote desktop'ed into the M17x from another computer, to use the computer with a different keyboard, and the problem was gone. Has anyone ever had a similar problem to this, I just wanted to see before I'm forced to call Dell. -Cheers
