I'm having probelems with 8.0beta1.
I first installed with 3D Acceleration for XFree-4. After a graphical boot
it hung with no mouse or keyboard response on the login screen. I could not
kill the X server or switch to a virtual terminal. Using failsafe boot
option I had no problems booting into a console, but as sson as I startx I
get a similar problem: KDE loads fine and the clock on kasbar keeps ticking,
but I cannot move the mouse cursor and the keyboard is unresponsive (I
cannot even turn the caps lock light on).
So today I tried another installation without using 3D acceleration, but
this made absolutely no difference. I chose text boot mode, but after the
graphical boot screen (aurora?) it gets to the console and I get no response
from the keyboard again. I'm afraid I can't test the failsafe boot option as
I seem to have mangled my root partition through using reset too much (as I
had no other choice to reboot it).
Interestingly I did'nt have these problems with the most recent cooker
snapshot isos.
I am running a celeron on a BX motherboard. ATI All-in-Wonder 128 16mb AGP
(Rage 128). PS/2 keyboard and mouse. if that helps.
Any ideas?
