- Erm, I've found a possilbe cause of keyboard lockups in Xfree86...
-
- I got the new admutils and new poeigl and compiled...
-
- It linked /dev/tty1 to /dev/console (which was prev. linked to tty0)
-
- When I started X this afternoon, the keyboard wouldn't respond...
-
- Changing the link back did the trick...
-
- <Just in case any of you out there in netland are having sim. probs>
-
- BTW, the new login didn't work when i compiled it
- - i had to delve for the emergency boot disk to put the old one back...
- (and it was 80K compared to 5K for the old one !!!)
-
- Enjoy !
- Cos !
