Bug#807015: xinit: startx freezes, mouse and keyboard don't work
Package: xinit
Version: 1.3.4-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
sometime in the last ~70 days (since I last started X or rebooted),
something has changed in X that prevents startx from working as an
ordinary user.
startx *was* working perfectly. Now when I run startx, I can see the
xfce desktop but neither keyboard nor mouse work at all, can't even
switch VT with Ctrl-Alt-F1 to kill X. I have to login from another
machine on the network to kill X and get back to a text console.
seems to be something to do with the error message:
xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted)
here's the entire log from 'startx > startx.log 2>&1':
