I had a similar problem a while back[1]. It turned out that gdm was trying to run on the same VC as a text console, and the text console was grabbing all of the keystrokes. I ended up changing the line that said "0=Standard" to "0=Standard vt7" in the "[servers]" section of gdm.conf. Mind you, this was a long time ago, but it's worth looking into. dt [1] http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.laptop/msg/c92a24076c69749f -- Dave Thayer | Whenever you read a good book, it's like the Denver, Colorado USA | author is right there, in the room talking to [EMAIL PROTECTED] | you, which is why I don't like to read | good books. - Jack Handey "Deep Thoughts" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
