I have noticed the same problem when I need to start "kdm" from a virtual console. The mouse works, the keyboard doesn't, and restarting X solves the problem. My default setup runs kdm on booting, and I have no problem with the keyboard.
At one time I was using "xdm" and I would run into the same trouble. Since the only way to restart the server was to use "Ctrl-Alt-Backspace", I switched to kdm, which lets me do the same with a mouse. I think the problem might be X-related. -Andy On Friday July 13 2001 11:18, Johannes M Zmoelnig wrote: > hi ! > i don't know whether this has been discussed already on this list, but > still... > using xfree-4.0.3-4 and kde-2.2.0-beta on my sid-system (kernel-2.4.6) > gives me a very interesting feature: after each reboot the keyboard locks > after kdm is being launched > since the mouse still works, i can easily restart the X-server > then everything works fine (nevertheless i think it is a kde-related > problem) > any hints, helps tips ? > > mfg.cd.sdz > IOhannes
