Hi, I was wondering, if you guys are aware of a problem with the latest release of the kdm in Debian Sid. We have been experiencing a strange problem, which may be related to the hardware that's in our machines. The motherboards are ASUS with via chipset, models K8VSE and A7V.
Simply the keyboard becomes nonfunctional when the kde is about to start, so we can't login. Keyboard is always functional in the consoles. USB mouse is functional, so we can switch to the console using kdm's screen and restart the kdm, which fixes the problem. The problem was persistant until we installed the devfsd package, and now the problem is only occasional. It's strange because we do not use any 2.4 kernels so the devfsd fails at start, or so it says. The problem becomes persistant again when we remove the devfs and install udev which is suitable for our 2.6 kernels. Regards, Nick
