Bug#648523: kdm: KDM looses keyboard and mouse if restarted while on console

[Eric Lavarde <bugs.debian.nospam@lavar.de>]

Package: kdm
Version: 4:4.6.5-3
Severity: normal

Hello,

I've just upgraded from Squeeze to Wheezy, and since then I have the
following behavior (it works each time):
1. Log into KDE from kdm
2. Log out
3. While logout happens, change to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1..)
4. KDM starts and takes back the control and appears on the screen
5. Mouse and Keyboard are dead
The clock works, the cursor blinks in the password field, everything
looks OK, but I can't use the keyboard nor the mouse, even the LEDs of
the lock keys don't work anymore (Caps & Num Lock).
The only thing that still works is to shut off the computer, Linux still
does recognize this and shuts down rather gracefully.

I doubt it but this issue might be linked to Bug#648521 (same system).

Let me know if you need anymore information.

Thanks, Eric
