DRAC session looses keyboard connections

[Bas Roos]

Hi Christian,

I might have run into the same (or similar) problem that you have 
described. I think I solve it by clicking in the console screen itself, 
clicking on some other screen, and clicking on the console screen again, 
after which my keyboard works again. When I have multiple consoles open to 
multiple DRAC's, I sometimes have to click on the console of some of them 
to get things working again. It is a rather annoying bug, but workable 
once you get the hang of it.

Not sure if this is the exact same problem you described, but if it is, 
then I hope it helps :-)

With kind regards,

Bas Roos
