Description Elmar Eberhardt 2005-02-10 23:11:53 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.92)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

After a reboot you can't use your keyboard, just the mouse. After a restart of X the keyboard works fine:

My solution:

there's a "new" (?) feature for KDM:

ServerVTs=-7

Quote:
# VTs to allocate to X-servers. A negative number means that the VT will be
# used only if it is free. If all VTs in this list are used up, the next free
# one greater than the last one in this list will be allocated.
# Default is ""
ServerVTs=-7

this part is missing in:

/etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc

in  /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc  this is included just fine.

adding  ServerVTs=-7
to  /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
got my keyboard back to work properly!
