wdm and keyboard problems
Hello,
This is a very weird problem so I'm not sure exactly where to send it.
Hopefully somebody has a suggestion.
Here's my situation: I have my Alpha set to start wdm on boot. Before,
everything was fine. This problem has started recently after I, among other
things, updated my wdm and moved /, /usr, and /var to a different drive. I
am most suspicious of wdm at the moment.
The problem is that I can log in to wdm just fine (type in my username and
password), but immediately after that happens, or a few keystrokes later, my
keyboard is completely locked. I can do nothing with it.
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, Ctrl-Alt-F1, or any typing in any windows does nothing.
Pressing NumLock doesn't toggle the light on the keyboard. I have to telnet
in from a different box, stop wdm and restart it, and then everything works
fine!
I'm running Metro-X 4.3.1 (by necessity, not by choice).
Thanks,
John
