Hee, hee! It's sometimes hard to find the correct modifier in a foreign languaje... Now, some answers: I use kdm, but now I've tested that the problem remains if I start the X server with startx. Now hear this: after reporting the bug the problem ocurrs every time I start the computer (what amazing and scaring thing!). Maybe that's good, now that's always reproducible (in my computer). It's still solved if I restart the server. And now the diff report, that seems interesting: --- XFree86.0.log-working-keyboard 2003-07-06 14:45:56.000000000 +0200 +++ XFree86.0.log-non-working-keyboard 2003-07-06 15:26:04.000000000 +0200 @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. -(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Sun Jul 6 14:33:58 2003 +(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Sun Jul 6 15:25:25 2003 (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" (==) ServerLayout "Default Layout" (**) |-->Screen "Default Screen" (0) @@ -476,9 +476,3 @@ (II) UnloadModule: "mouse" (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Configured Mouse" (type: MOUSE) Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list! -(II) Open APM successful -(==) I740(0): Write-combining range (0xe3000000,0x800000) -(II) I740(0): vgaHWGetIOBase: hwp->IOBase is 0x03d0, hwp->PIOOffset is 0x0000 -(**) I740(0): DPMS enabled -Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list! -(II) Open APM successful
