As I already replied to the list, getty is indeed running: $ ps -ef | grep getty root 2194 1 0 Jun22 tty2 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty --noclear tty2 root 2199 1 0 Jun22 tty3 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty --noclear tty3 root 2202 1 0 Jun22 tty4 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty --noclear tty4 root 2205 1 0 Jun22 tty5 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty --noclear tty5 root 2208 1 0 Jun22 tty6 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty --noclear tty6 root 2211 1 0 Jun22 tty7 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty --noclear tty7 root 2214 1 0 Jun22 tty8 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty --noclear tty8 root 2217 1 0 Jun22 tty9 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty --noclear tty9 My KB also issues ^[OQ when I press the F2 key by itself. I am going to try another idea and get back to the list. I am suspecting something in my ~/.gconf/ ~/.gconfd/ ~/.gnome2/ ~/.gnome2_private/
