Hi,
I have an install of the unstable distribution with a 2.4 Kernel. When I boot up, my keyboard and mouse become disabled as soon as the log in manager displays.
Can you tell me how to stop x-windows from starting during the boot process so that I can try and find the cause of the issue. I cannot disable x windows from the command line because I can never get in.
I assume you're using lilo (as opposed to grub or some other boot loader). At the "boot:" prompt, enter "linux single"; this should boot you into single-user mode, where you can then disable your gui login (several ways; I'd just throw "exit 0" into the first line of the appropriate script - "/etc/init.d/gdm" (or kdm or xdm or wdm)).
If you have any clues as to what might be causing my keyboard to disable in the first place, I would be very grateful to hear them.
First guess is that X has been configured with the wrong keyboard settings. If the keyboard works outside of X, try "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86"; I believe that'll allow you to reconfigure your keyboard settings.
