If I start xdm during init time from /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d the keyboard does not respond. I cannot xlogin. I cannot CTRL-ALT-F* to another terminal. I cannot CTRL-ALT-BSP to kill the server. I cannot CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart the box. I am forced to stare at xlogin. If I start xdm from the command line every thing works normally. I have a fresh build of X, world, and my kernel. This behavior is something new since I went -stable from 3.0R. I figure that rebuilding the universe would cure it because of the new syscons stuff. The rebuild didn't work. It used to be that I would see the 'login:' prompt on the console before X would start. Now X starts before the local daemons finish there startup. Also, xdm-errors shows that X is starting on VT2 instead of VT4. It shows and error: System: `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -w 1 -R/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb -xkm -m us -em1 "The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:" -emp "> " -eml "Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server" keymap/xfree86 compiled/xfree86.xkm' Does anyone know why this might be happening? It seems like the timing of the X startup is coinciding with the starting of getty on ttyv1,2,3 and causing the keyboard to get lost in the shuffle.
