I'm using plain xdm without any other login manager and I have the same problem... xdm grabs keyboard (ctrl+alt+Fx doesn't work) when started as a service before somebody has logged in on text console. Starting it later after logging in it works. There is no older xdm ebuild in portage to fall back... i have the same problem. it seems that this new ebuild introduce a new method to load xdm faster (which cause the problem). you can go back to the old method by editing /etc/conf.d/xdm and changing XSTATICVT="yes" to XSTATICVT="no" Sorry, forgot to post - I solved it yesterday by adding vt7 to the Xservers file - this was proposed by etc-update in the first time but I kept my old config which caused that problem. adding vt7 to Xservers when using XSTATICVT="yes" don't solve the problem for me. Maybe it is because i use fbsplash ? if i don't start xdm at boot, i can see the gentoo fbsplash logo on vt7. So maybe splash and xdm both want to access vt7 at the same time ? Leszek, If this bug is still there, please open a new bug assigned to x11@gentoo.org as they maintain xdm. Thanks |
