Bug#442316: evdev: KDM/KDE solutions



Package: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
Version: 1:2.0.8-1
Followup-For: Bug #442316

Hello,
just to document it. I experienced this problem today (until yesterday's login
everything was fine for me (testing with all updates)) and someone on
#debian-kde directed my in the right direction. So should any KDE/KDM user have
the same problem, here is at least one solution:

KDM
I haven't found one yet apart from uninstalling evdev (I haven't tried to edit
the fdi file yet). Therefore, if you can life with it, just type your password
qwerty-translated into the password field, switching to tty1 is possible through
the system menu.

KDE (3.5)
That is actually easy: just go to the control center > regional settings &
accessibility > keyboard layout and select »Evdev-managed keyboard« for keyboard
type. Then everything should be back at normal apart from other evdev bugs like
#475330.

Greetings,
Kai
