I boot into runlevel 5. When kdm comes up I have about 10 seconds until the
keyboard stops working. If I type fast, I can get my password typed and boot
into KDE, and it boots fine, but the keyboard doesn't work there, either.
I kinda solved it by moving the kmd startup to the end of the runlevel 5 init
scripts. That means that somewhere there is an init script that is breaking
the X keyboard if it runs after X starts up.
Anyone having this problem? If it is common, then I can't believe that made
it through QA. In case it was my bizarre setup (not that bizarre, really,
but it has accumulated some cruft over the years of upgrades) I did a fresh
install from scratch and still had that problem.
Other than this issue, I like 10.1. I don't see much new in it--it seems to
be pretty much a .x release. One thing I like is that they provide KDE 3.3
on the fourth CD. It took me a while to figure out how to point the upgrade
system to it, but now I have a nice 3.3 system at home. Actually, there was
one additional problem there with some conflicting RPMs, but one I got past
that I was happy.
