I just reinstalled the gnome tools I had uninstalled, and also check the console kbd package, the problem still exists: error message during startup, can not start X automatically.
If its about the keymap, which package should I have? I checked in the installed package, there are console-data console-tools and the kbd I just installed. Thanks for your help!
