I installed 2.2.1 and decided to put the stuff from /etc/rc.local in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d, respectively. For the normal daemons, this works OK, but putting xdm in the X11 rc directory turned out to be a Bad Idea. What seems to happen, is that xdm initializes and starts X, but after that, the vty's are initilized. The result is that I have a screen with the xdm login, but that the keyboard thinks it's listening to a vty. I managed to login as root and print xdm's pid to console (xconsole) and kill it, but still no characters would appear. About the same thing happened when I installed the splash screen. I'm almost positive that this is a known issue, but is there a way to get around it? - Peter
