Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
since an emerge-update-world on my notebook the keyboard |
| 4 |
does no longer respond in X. This is extremely annoying |
| 5 |
because when I have xdm in rc-update, X is started right at |
| 6 |
boot. I have no chance to get back to the console using |
| 7 |
Ctrl-Alt-F1, and the device in unusable. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Yet, this is only a problem of the boot process. At home, |
| 10 |
when I ssh into the system, I can do an |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
# /etc/init.d/xdm restart |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
and from that point on the keyboard works. It is even |
| 15 |
possible to disable xdm in rc-update and start it after the |
| 16 |
boot process has completed. I solved the problem temporarily |
| 17 |
this way, but the problem probably is a bug and should be |
| 18 |
reported. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
So I have a closer look. When I diff "Xorg.0.log" and |
| 21 |
"Xorg.0.log.old" (after removing the time stamps) I find one |
| 22 |
line that doesn't appear in the log of the working X. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
(EE) kbd: Keyboard0: failed to set us as foreground pgrp (Inappropriate ioctl for device) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
What does this mean? I estimate that "us" is the personal |
| 27 |
pronoun and not a keyboard layout, and that the server tries |
| 28 |
to do some chgrp on some /dev/*. I have no clue what to try |
| 29 |
next. |

|
| 31 |
Thanks in advance. |
