Do you have any commands in /etc/conf.d/local.start that could be stealing the keyboard? Starting after local means all the other init scripts have already started, so they can't be to blame. If you're using parallel startup (RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP in /etc/conf.d/rc), could you disable it?

Well, I suppose this is not the reason. I commented it out, same result. > Starting after local means all the other init scripts have already > started, so they can't be to blame. Right, that's the part where my understanding ends. But: I really meant _after_ local, so even local was already done. I.e., I started xdm as the very last (because that is, iirc, the way it worked before update to xorg7). > If you're using parallel startup > (RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP in /etc/conf.d/rc), could you disable it? > I don't do so. Just as another information, I (sadly) use the proprietary nvidia driver. (I'd really like to use nv, but it doesn't seem to work together with my three grafic cards (cannot read V_BIOS - I found lot's of problem reports but no fix).)

The V_BIOS thing should be fixed as of xorg-server-1.0.2-r7 (the one that was marked stable). It was broken in -r6, if you were previously using modular X on ~arch. Since you're using binary drivers, I'm going to reassign your bug. I've had issues like this before. It's basically your X starting too soon and one of the console's grabbing the keyboard input. Oddly enough if you type your username [enter] password [enter], you'll be dumped at a console that just logged in. X will restart on vt7 and everything will be fine and dandy. I talked with you about this before Donnie and we debugged the issue and fixed it. I forget what it was. I remember one of the needed steps was I needed to rebuild my initramfs for some reason. But it definitely was not an nvidia-drivers issue. You could try making sure you have the latest xinit and run etc-update. This will ensure that the xdm init script (provided by xinit) has all the required dependencies. Please reopen when you confirm you've done as I suggested in the above comment. |
