I hope you've fixed the problem by now. But if you haven't, and for the sake of others, I solved this = problem by: In XFree-4_libraries port: make deinstall Then make install or 'portupgrade' or what you like. Something obviously went wrong with the port. reinstalling fixed = the problem. Note that you don't have to be as destructive as rm -rf A simple = deinstall would be safer and less hassle. -Ed -- You Wrote: --- I upgraded a workstation today previously running Gnome 2.0, FreeBSD-STABLE as of November or so (4.7 I think), and XFree86-4 4.2.1, to Gnome 2.2, FreeBSD 4-STABLE as of today, = and XFree86-4.3.0. I did a make world from source, but installed Gnome = and XFree86 as packages from the 4.8-RELEASE CD. XFree86 starts up fine, Gnome 2.2 starts up, my Eterm shells start, = it all looks great... until I try and type, and then any key I press on = the keyboard results in an X resolution mode change. Kind of annoying, = and I'd like to fix it. I can't find anything unusual in /var/log/XFree86.0.log. I'm still using the "keyboard" driver in my XF86Config file; I = tried changing that to "kbd" and it had no difference. I'm about ready = to rm -rf /usr/X11R6 but I'd prefer to know exactly what's causing this. = Where should I start looking? Brian
