Quake3 multi-keypress problem

[Haro]

I've seem to run into something weird. I can only have two keys pressed on my keyboard simultaniously, the third won't register. So say i'm strafing jumping and pressing ARROW_UP and ARROW_LEFT, I can't switch weapons while i'm doing this, I'd have to left my finger up on one of the arrows then switch.

I have a standard PS/2 keyboard.

My XF86Config keyboard section:

I hvae the same problem: while playing quake3 i can't press two mouse buttons simultaniously - they don't work and when i perss them one by one they work. If anyone have some suggestios what to do please answer.

haro: how good is your keyboard?

my ms natural doesnt like more than 3 keys pressed at once (usually okay, but crap for 2 player pyddr)
some cheaper keyboards might have that limit 1 lower, some nicer keyboards allow 4 or even 5 at a time.

gravity: are you sure you havent got emulate3buttons enabled? this would result in pressing left and right together sending a mouse3 event to quake3, which if unbound, would be as though you'd not pressed anything

It's a memorex MX5050, nothin fancy, just a standard PS/2 KB from anywhere.

I'll try a new keyboard within a few days and see if I still have the problem. Although, I don't have this problem in windows.

I18N: no i have not enabled emulate3butons and i don't understand why sometimes it works fine (pressing two mouse buttons simultaniuously)and some times it doesn't work.
