Hi there, Even though the bug #393681 is fixed I guess (pehaps wrongly) I have a related issue but failed to solve it. I have gentoo x86_64 stable (apart from few pkgs, like lxdm, which do not exist in stable) and have the following problem: once lxde session is started on tty7 (using lxdm through /etc/init.d/xdm) the keyboard input on tty1 is broken. Precisely, I start lxdm using /etc/init.d/xdm and this is in the default runlevel. If I DO NOT start LXDE session and login on tty1, than everything is ok. If I DO start LXDE session and after do log in on tty1 I should press each key TWICE in order a symbol to appear. Even to log in. I only can enter username normally. Even enter after that should be pressed twice. Even if I first login on tty1 and AFTER start lxde session, the input becomes broken on tty1. Once logged out from lxde tty1 resotres its normal behavior. Once lxde session is closed I can login on tty1 normally. Any clue, guys, what is wrong? I did not modify things a lot, really, almost everything is out of the box. I just put 'lxdm' in /etc/conf.d/xdm I have second x86_64 system and there the behavior is THE SAME. I have another system, gentoo x86 and there everything works ok on tty1. Both systes are almost identical. I hardly tried to make my new x86_64 be as much close to previous x86 as possible. BUT there is still a bit older lxdm there, I guess (even though I do 'emerge -DNu world' each Monday). It HAS /etc/lxdm/xinitrc file. Is it important that this old /etc/lxdm/xinitrc does source files from '/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d'? (see bug #393681 on some issue with that file though) I have tried to manually put this xinitrc file back to /etc/lxdm/ on my new x86_64 system. But I have noticed no changes. BTW, I have NO any other desktop managers (gdm, kdm) or enviroments, like gnome, kde, etc. Well, I understand that I can work on tty2, tty3, instead of tty1, it is not THAT problematic, but would be happy to make gentoo better. Forgot to state explicitly: ONLY tty1 is affected Thanks in advance Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.lxdm started using xdm in default runlevel 2.start lxde session 3.login (if you still normally enter your password) on tty1 Actual Results: Have to press keys twice to have output Expected Results: Normal kbd input If you have running lxde session and run showkey on tty1 than you see an out put kind of this: keycode 34 press keycode 34 press keycode 34 press keycode 34 release keycode 56 release keycode 56 release keycode 56 press keycode 56 release You notice that not all press/release events are detected Moreover, sometime the logout from tty1 in this situation lasts forever and kernel throws away the following error: tty_ldisc_hangup: waiting (login) for tty1 took too long, but we keep waiting... Really confused ...
This behaviour sound familiar, Can you post the output of `ps ax | egrep (tty|X)` and the current (newest) /var/log/Xorg.*.log file _after_ you logged in on the lxdm/LXDE session? I assume that any agetty battles with X for the input of an particular terminal.
These are the results: ps ax | egrep '(tty|X)' 2960 tty7 Ss+ 0:01 /usr/bin/X :0 vt07 -nolisten tcp 3115 tty1 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux 3116 tty2 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux 3117 tty3 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux 3199 ?

I did a reboot just before to make things clear and have not attempted in anyway to log in on tty1. I clearly have logged into lxde because I'm writing this in a graphical environment. What drives me crazy that my other x86 is free of this trouble. As I wrote it has /etc/lxdm/xinitrc file but again as I wrote, bringing this file on the problematic system did not resolve the issue.

Due to HDD crash I had to reinstall the sytem from scratch on x86 laptop and now I can say that the behavior is identical on all 3 laptops I have: input on the tty1 is broken. I do not know what have significantly changed in the renewed x86 but at least now I have a filling that this is platform independent feature. Not sure this helps a lot but is an info anyway.
As this is a pretty old bug may I ask if this still happens with latest versions of the LXDE packages?
Closing as obsolete, please re-open if you can reproduce on a current system.
