Hi, I've used to start my login manager with /etc/ttys for years now (After I considered myself became to lazy to type startx). After yesterdays xorg upgrade I've noticed, that the login manager which comes up right after going to multiuser has no working mouse or keyboard support. This is probably because the login manager gets started by /sbin/init which uses getttyent which parses /etc/ttys. This all happens before hald is being started which is the problem here. So the solution seems to be to drop/remove login manager startups from /etc/ttys and move over to rc.d startup. This might be an information which others (people also using /etc/ttys) might find usefull so I'm sharing it... When upgrading to latest xorg - make sure you are retiring your /etc/ttys upgrade (Or am I the only one experiencing this? Maybe my system is just to slow to start hald fast enough? ;) -- Oliver Lehmann http://www.pofo.de/ http://wishlist.ans-netz.de/
