Package: gdm Version: 2.20.10-3 Severity: important In kfreebsd-i386[1] on boot gdm does not accept keyboard input. That is, it will not allow anything to be typed into the Username box or allow switching to another virtual console. The mouse still works.
A work around is to choose Action->"Run XDMCP chooser". This causes X to restart and the keyboard input now works. Click Cancel, this returns to gdm which now accepts keyboard input. * kdm on kfreebsd-i386[1] also has this issue. * gdm and kdm on i386[1] do not have this issue. * xdm on kfreebsd-i386[1] and i386[1] does not have this issue. An email to the debian-bsd list caused me to investigate this: http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2010/06/msg00027.html Regards, Mike. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: kfreebsd-i386 (i686) Kernel: kFreeBSD 7.3-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gdm depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.32 Debian configuration management sy ii gksu 2.0.2-3 graphical frontend to su ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.21-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc0.1 2.11.1-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.86-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdmx1 1:1.1.0-2 X11 Distributed Multihead extensio ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.1-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.30.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpam-modules 1.1.1-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 1.1.1-3 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 1.1.1-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.0-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii librsvg2-2 2.26.3-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii librsvg2-common 2.26.3-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libwrap0 7.6.q-19 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.5-2 X11 authorisation library ii libxdmcp6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 Display Manager Control Protoc ii libxext6 2:1.1.1-3 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxi6 2:1.3-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 2:1.1-3 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.7.7.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii xfce4-session [x-session-ma 4.6.2-1 Xfce4 Session Manager ii xfce4-terminal [x-terminal- 0.4.5-1 Xfce terminal emulator ii xfwm4 [x-window-manager] 4.6.2-1 window manager of the Xfce project ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 259-1 X terminal emulator Versions of packages gdm recommends: ii gdm-themes 0.6.2 Themes for the GNOME Display Manag ii whiptail 0.52.10-8 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii xserver-xephyr 2:1.7.7-2 nested X server ii xserver-xorg 1:7.5+6 the X.Org X server ii zenity 2.30.0-1 Display graphical dialog boxes fro Versions of packages gdm suggests: ii libpam-gnome-keyring 2.30.1-2 PAM module to unlock the GNOME key ii locales 2.11.1-3 Embedded GNU C Library: National L pn pm-utils <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: gdm/daemon_name: /usr/sbin/gdm * shared/default-x-display-manager: gdm
