WIth the current Xorg (before 1.5) we could have multiple console keyboard connected. E.g. a laptop with the builtin PS/2 keyboard and we attach an external USB keyboard. Does that mean that I'll beep three times, once on /dev/audio and once for the PS/2 keyboard and once for the USB keyboard? I also noticed that on a box that uses an USB keyboard, a second hotplugged USB keyboard isn't recognized. On the text console both keyboards work, in Xorg 1.5.3 only one keyboard is active. And my Tecra S1 laptop has started to refuse starting dtlogin under Xorg 1.5.3 - it shows the initial X11 gui background pattern with the "X" shape mouse cursor in the center of the screen, but accepts neither PS/2 keyboard or mouse input, nor USB keyboard or mouse input. Shutdown via the acpi power button works, so the system isn't hung and hasn't paniced... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
