I've been having a strange problem with -current since late March. The machine is a Dell Workstation 400, dual Pentium 300 (running SMP). Problem is that occasionally, the keyboard stops responding completely. The mouse in X continues to work, and telnet sessions are fine. It just stops taking keyboard input. I can make this happen repeatably simply by having "xdm" in rc.local. Then, every time it comes up, the keyboard is dead. Taking xdm out of rc.local, and starting it manually as root after the system is up keeps the keyboard working OK. It still dies every now and then though. Any ideas? -------------------------------------------------------------------- \||/_ Alok K.
