I don't appear to have a ~/.xsession* file. In any case, I still had the input problem when I started up the kde window manager. I did make some errors earlier and I may just remove /opt/kde4 completely and start over. That's one advantage with a separate kde directory. In the meantime, I am going to try xfce. That's a lot shorter build. >> but if kde-4.8.4 is due out next month, it is probably fixed there. > > Kde-4.8.4 is already out, I just haven't got around to updating the > book.

If not, it would be easy for me to test that out. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
