Add another method of detecting the event device for keyboard.

Could you please apply this patch against your /sbin/splash-functions.sh and see whether this changes anything?  If it doesn't, try booting with 'splash=profile,<other_splash_options>' and attach your /lib/splash/cache/profile.

If i disable Power Button (FF) from kernel it's a good idea for test this bug?

Did you try with media-gfx/splashutils-1.5.3.3? Did the issue occur in 1.5.3.3 too, for you?

Hey, I also have this problem with splashutils 1.5.4.3. Unfortunately I can’t answer that question for him, because there is only one version of splashutils (1.5.4.3) in portage. No 1.5.3.3. Could you provide the 1.5.3.3. ebuild?
Comment 33 Navid Zamani 2009-10-02 00:02:48 UTC
Oh, and  here, the strange thing is, that I can switch to „verbose mode“ by pressing the right Windows key and then the left one to get back. As if it were console 0… or 13…? Also there is a notable switch in display (not the resolution or refresh rate, but something else) on that verbose console, even way after the booting is done. Consoles 2-6 are the same. But console 1 has this switch. Very strange. My guess is, that the silent mode lays on the wrong console, and therefore the key press goes to the dead console 0/13 instead of the expected consoe 1, when in silent mode.
