 |
|
Hi there 
I wanted that GDM starts on my tty9 so I edit the /etc/conf.d/xdm and changed CHECKVT=7 to CHECKVT=9
I also edit the inittab file like that:
| Code: | #
# /etc/inittab: This file describes how the INIT process should set up
# the system in a certain run-level.

GDM starts fine on the tty9 but the keyboards appears to be dead, I noticed the comments on the xdm file but I couldn't see why the keyboard die.
Do you have any idea ? Thanks |

same here then in xorg.conf i switched back to kbd driver instead of evdev and
everything is working for now.
'am investigating now.
EDIT: it works perfectly. i use kbd driver in xorg then in kde system settings revert to generic 102 keyboard
but keep the evdev variant command. now xorg loads the evdev module.
don't know why and what has changed. fault could be the udev update.
