This "just" started happening. I don't recall anything I did on the last boot several days ago before turning it off. So, I don't have any clue where to start looking.
If I boot to runlevel 3, everything works, but only until I do 'init 5' or 'telinit 5'. Then the keyboard just dies. If I boot directly to runlevel 5, nothing but the reset & power buttons work. To run X, I must login and then do startx. This I do not like. How can I fix this?
Have you tried to run SaX from runlevel 3 and reconfigure your keyboard, maybe your X config got corrupted...
No I haven't, because startx creates a runlevel 3 X that seems to work perfectly.
Ok, and after reconfiguring it, your keyboard continues to fail on runlevel 5?
Reconfiguring what? X runs fine with the XF86Config file I have now. sax: command not found. sax2 aborts with errors that scroll off the screen. /var/log/SaX.log contains the usual (EE) errors for my video card, but nothing else that seems to have anything to do with keyboard.
Seems sax2 left a new file /tmp/sax2/4096/XF86Config just before I wrote my last message here, that I just found a bit ago. As usual for installer results, it is useless as is with my ET6100 video card. With it, X fails to start, but then my keyboard fails to die as well, and I am left in runlevel 5 with working keyboard. :-p Once I edit it to include the necessary 'Videoram 4096' and 'Option "noaccel"' in 'Section "Device"', X will start, but then the keyboard dies, just as before. I also tried the XF86Config files from my 9.0 box and from a 9.2 Live CD, but they kill the keyboard upon 'init 5' also. X does work from the 9.2 live once I fix 'Section "Device"'. Please, somebody tell me what to look for? Could repair from an installation CD fix this? -- "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."
