I just finished a buildworld/buildkernel/mergemaster on my Dell Inspiron 9300. Upon rebooting, I noticed that gdm seemed to start earlier in the boot process than it used to. When the login screen appeared, the mouse seemed to work fine, but nothing I typed appeared. Attempting to use C-A-F1 to switch to vty0 just beeped. C-A-Del worked to reboot the laptop. I booted single user, commented out gdm_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, and rebooted -- everything was fine. I put the gdm_enable back and ran /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh start -- gdm started, fully functional. I rebooted again -- gdm ignored the keyboard. After several reboots, I've found that gdm seems to work fine as long as I don't have 'gdm_enable="YES"' in /etc/rc.conf when the machine boots. I've just finished upgrading gdm (using portmanager); still the same problem. If anyone has suggestions/wants me to try anything, just say so.
