First post for a while - only recently resubscribed, so here goes: My main box has been running testing for some time, with the odd thing pulled in from unstable. Before shutting it down for the weekend it had been up for a month without incident. Upon return the gdm logon screen would accept no keyboard input, although the mouse continued to function. I was also unable to switch between virtual consoles. When I killed gdm remotely, the keyboard worked fine on the command line. Also, when I killed gdm, my attempts at typing in the login box had appeared on the previously active console.
Here's what I've tried: - checked XF86Config-4. This has not been altered for several months and was working fine. - attached another keyboard. Same behaviour as before. - checked that installation of gdm is up to date. - updated glibc to 2.3.1-10 (was runnning 2.3.1-5, so thought I'd upgrade given recent problems). Running gdm 2.2.5.5-2 gnome 1.4 xfree86-server 4.2.1-4 generic ps/2 "windows" keyboard 2.4.18 kernel Unfortunately I'd failed to get apt-listchanges to mail me, so I'm not entirely certain what's been installed in the last month (won't do that again).
