it might be a kernel bug. Ill download and try 2.4.18 tonight. I was using 2.4.17-r3 Here is a fix that worked for me. Edit the file /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers Find the following line (should be on the last line): :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X Then add "vt7" on the end to look like this: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt7 Hope that helps, Bill That didnt work for me under gdm though. Some other users on the users@gentoo.org list are reporting problems with kdm and this, Martin has said it has to do with the display manager getting started before the gettys which locks up the keyboard until a reset of the manager is done. He's working on a solution. Howard the problem was addressed and appears fixed by emerging baselayout-1.7.3-r1. Kudos to Martin Schlemmer for that fix. Howard |
