Lost Keyboard functionality- Anyone else ever experiance this?

[machek]

So I've been running FRX 07 and occasionally I would get a problem where my keyboard, as it was slid out, sometimes wouldnt respond. The problem usually fixed itself, or if I would "scan and repair" the SD card, it would boot normally and the keyboard would work. As of last week, I cant get it to work at all. I've tried to ask Aarrrgghh a bunch of questions in PM becuase he usually answers them anyway, but nothing has worked and he hasnt heard of this issue before, so I'm turning to everyone else.

The problem: When the keyboard is slid out, it freezes the phone completely, not even loading the landscape orientation. Therefor, pressing anything on the keyboard also does not respond. The only way to get it to respond is if I slide the keyboard half out, and then it orients itself all the way like its working fine. However you obviously cant use it that way. Also the g sensor is working because if I'm in texts, and turn it sideways, it does orient itself into landscape (but opening the keyboard also locks it again). Aaarrrgghh suggested it may be hardware, however in Winmo, the keyboard works flawlessly.

Some things I've tried: I have tried reformatting the SD and reinstalling, a copy of my FRX 07 files. I have tried 3 different SD cards. I have tried to update to all the newest files. I have tried to revert back to the original FRX07 initrd, module, rootfs, system, and zimage file, and that was the only thing that made it start working for 2 to 3 hours, then it failed again. The only thing I did from that time till it failed was charge it and texted some people. I have also tried starting from scratch from a new FRX07 build on a newly formatted SD card and it still doesnt work.

So now I'm pretty much convinced that it is hardware, but how the hell does it work perfect in windows, but fails to work in android??? Has anyone else ever seen this happen? Any solutions?? Any Ideas on things I can try?? I really want this to work, I love this phone, I love having android, and I love my keyboard. I want all three!! Any help would be greatly appreciated
