Hi, My 5.0-CURRENT system is having difficulties. When it boots up, it starts GDM automatically, but most of the time, GDM (X/ gnome?) completely forgets about the keyboard. This means that its impossible to enter a username, or move to a termial (Ctrl-Alt-x). The only key combination that does work is ctrl-alt-del (I'm on i386, btw). I rebuilt current a few days ago, but thet didn't seem to make any difference, and all my X / Gnome2 related ports have been portupgraded. The keyboard _is_ working, as booting up in single user mode, or not starting gdm works fine. On the odd occasiom, gdm does work as well. There doesn't seem to be much logic to it. Has anyone seen anything like this? Anyone know whats going wrong? Mark
