There is kdm installed which does not react on any keyboard input anymore. So I switched via mouse to text console and restarted kdm (thekeyboardworks in text mode). Now the keyboard works... Can anyone help me with that? If I need to attach files or log output, tell me what you need. Thanks in advance EikeGo back and search through the archives. I (and numerous other people have had this problem). One kind person gave a work around. Can't seem to find the email on my computer at this point.
So this is a bit late--just went through this myself--but I thought
I'd go ahead and post the minimal fix that worked for me:
Add the line
ServerVTs=-7
(without leading spaces, if it matters, which I don't know)
to the [General] stanza of /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc .
The thing that concerns me a little is, this bug shows
up on bugs.debian.org as resolved (see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=88707&archive=yes).
I don't think it ought to have been closed as it's still biting people
(it got me within the last week or so).
Now that I look at the date on the above link (March 2001) I guess
maybe this is a reemergence of some sort.
