an issue resolved with my wireless keyboard

I have never posted about this issue nor submitted bug report.

I always assumed that it was a hardware issue with my particular setup, and it was (as far as I can tell). I have a Versapoint Wireless RF keyboard that I use for my Sagetv box. I only use this computer for Sagetv and a little web surfing here and there.

I started noticing that my keyboard would "freak" out all the time...

Doing right clicks on its own (most of my problems)
Selecting things that I didn't want to
Closing windows
etc.

At the time I was running the 2.2.2 beta and thought that it may be a combination of the "broken" windows xp install and the "limping" sagetv install. So I rebuilt from ground up. I then installed the 6.0.11 Beta and whereas Windows xp/Sagetv were now working much better, but my keyboard was still "doin' its freakout thing"

So this morning, I figured why not "move" the RF wireless keyboard adapter? And VOILA! My keyboard now seems to be "tame" and not "demonic" anymore!

Problem as I see it... I recently got a new tv stand and set everthing up differently. My wireless RF adapter had been sitting on one of my speakers next to the tv, and after I got the stand I put it on one of the shelves just under my center speaker's new location. DOH! After moving the RF adapter away from under the center speaker, things went back to normal.

I guess RF signals don't like huge magnetic fields around them... my RF adapter's antennae was pointing directly at the center speaker and sitting right below it before I moved it and now (after moving it) the keyboard demons have "left the building"

Useless info, probably, but wanted to let others know, just in case they have similar issues.
