After my vacation, I came back to a special root login that looked like I needed to do some repairs. This was not the normal login prompt.
The disks look fine (did e2fsck on them) but now XFree-3.3 wouldn't recognise my [Windows] keys as Meta keys in X, and the Backspace key enters a ~ character and beeps instead of deleting. I fixed the Meta keys with xmodmap (even reinstalling XFree and reconfiguring wouldn't help get back the default behaviour) but I don't know how to fix the backspace key. BTW, it works fine for root, and I can't find anything nasty in any dot file. `xev' says the backspace key is keycode 22, so I tried stty erase 0x22 It doesn't help.
