After installing xfce4 I found out this problem is not an lxde problem |
| 25 |
it seems to be a desktop environment or windows manager problem. When I |
| 26 |
click the logout button in xfce4 it hangs also, it never brings me back |
| 27 |
to the command prompt. The only thing I can do is Alt-SysReq-EISUB |
| 28 |
which works really well and suggested in an earlier thread. |

I installed xdm and slim, but strange things happen with that. When I |
| 31 |
run /etc/xinit.d/xdm start the slim login appears, but the right half of |
| 32 |
my keyboard doesn't work right. For example when I press the "k" key a |
| 33 |
"2" is printed. Very strange. |
