ok, this explains some of the odd behaviour... had no idea about that :| the thing that bugs me is that i had this input working already, in kde, on arch - but after a reboot it didn't work anymore. now, it deems to me that the time it was working, i was using 'startx', after i put kdm into the daemons it failed... i need to investigate that further, it just came to my mind - maybe there is some difference with the .xinitrc between gdm and kdm wich causes trouble later? ok, too late today - you hear from me tomorrow
