1.)
since xserver-xfree86 4.2.1-11 was introduced into testing i have the problem that after xdm (or wdm) starts, i have to wait some time (maybe 30-60 seconds) before the xserver responds to keyboard input while the mouse works fine. after that or when i start X via startx theres's no problem. the videocard i use is some ati card, xfree-driver is "r128". with the "old" testing xserver-xfree86 i didn't have this problem.
2.)
while examining the above problem i noticed, that changing the preferred display manager via dpkg-reconfigure doesn't seem to work. when i try to change it the debconf frontend lets me do it, but the file /etc/X11/default-display-manager isn't changed. i've tried the frontends dialog,readline and editor, all the same. i've experienced this also on a second system, where i additionally get error-messages (see below) when i do "dpkg-reconfigure kdm" (from unstable, not present on the first system), with xdm,wdm just nothing happens.
error message after "dpkg-reconfigure kdm":
sh: line 5131: /usr/share/apps/Debian/Screen/Save/MarqueeMessage/Brilliant!/AppRun: No such file or directory

chmod: failed to get attributes of `/usr/share/apps/Debian/Screen/Save/NoseMessage/Brilliant!/AppRun': No such file or directory
both systems are mostly testing with some parts from unstable. did anyone else encounter these problems? any advice?
thanks matthias
