Thanks for the tip. I am not entirely familiar with the config file you are 
referring to. Could somebody please verify that /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc is 
the file being referred to here?

xserverrc=
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp


Thanks,
Andy

This may have NO bearing whatsoever, but I found that after editting my
/etc/inittab and adding more vt's, I could no longer type into KDM or XDM or
GDM. I then discovered that KDM DEMANDS that it be allowd to live in VT7! If
it ran from anywhere else, I lost keyboard ability.

add "vt7" at the end of the server line in the Xservers file kdm uses.

Re: keyboard freeze after reboot

[Andy Saxena]

I have noticed the same problem when I need to start "kdm" from a virtual 
console. The mouse works, the keyboard doesn't, and restarting X solves the 
problem. My default setup runs kdm on booting, and I have no problem with the 
keyboard.

At one time I was using "xdm" and I would run into the same trouble. Since 
the only way to restart the server was to use "Ctrl-Alt-Backspace", I 
switched to kdm, which lets me do the same with a mouse.

I think the problem might be X-related.

keyboard freeze after reboot

[Johannes M Zmoelnig]

hi !
i don't know whether this has been discussed already on this list, but
still...
using xfree-4.0.3-4 and kde-2.2.0-beta on my sid-system (kernel-2.4.6)
gives me a very interesting feature: after each reboot the keyboard locks
after kdm is being launched
since the mouse still works, i can easily restart the X-server
then everything works fine (nevertheless i think it is a kde-related
problem)
any hints, helps tips ?
