Any ideas? Using USB mice? I had a very strange thing happen with XFree 4.3 and USB mice. The xdm (kdm or whatever - tried all) takes very long to show up both at system boot and between logins. You get a black screen for a long time. I could never figure this out. Then, we changed to a non-USB mouse for some reason, and the apparent hangings went away. The USB mouse had been working fine up to the upgrade to XFree 4.3. I saw nothing in any logs. Just a very long wait for something. -- +····························+·······························+ · Roger Oberholtzer · E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] · · OPQ Systems AB · WWW: http://www.opq.se/ · · Erik Dahlbergsgatan 41-43 · Phone: Int + 46 8 314223 · · 115 34 Stockholm · Mobile: Int + 46 733 621657 · · Sweden · Fax: Int + 46 8 302602 · +····························+·······························+ _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
