Package: xorg-x11
Severity: important
Hi.
i just installed the 6.8.99.901.dfsg.1-1 packages built by Sven Luther
for powerpc, that are now reaching experimental.
after xscreensaver starts, if i try to type in my password to unlock the
screen, no * is printed, and the timer gets reseted to the beginning.
if i go to console mode with alt+ctl+f1, and kill xscreensaver, the
mouse works fine, and alt+tab too. but no other key event seem to be
able to reach the screen. some other weird things happen, such as the
gnome menu not willing to open.
i tried killing just about all my processes from the console, but no
luck. restarting X does it.
the keyboard is an apple usb keyboard with an italian layout (but i
prefer the us one). the relevant section in my xorg.conf reads:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:lwin_switch"
EndSection
cheers, piem
