I am guessing that this is a new install of 9.x. It sounds to me like XFree86 is not configured properly for you. Did you take the time to properly configure it during the installation? As to your keyboard, is it a USB keyboard, and have you set the USB system to detect it at boot in /etc/sysconfig/usb? You can try booting to init3 (boot to command line) rather than init5 (boot to graphical). Edit /etc/inittab as root: change the "id:5:initdefault:" to "id:3:initdefault:" and reboot. You should go to command line only getting a login prompt there. After that, try manually starting the window managers: KDE inits with "startkde" maybe others can can tell you other start commands. Then the shut down should be back to the login prompt. If its not go to a virtual terminal and see if you can find what's wrong runing ps or pstree. You may also see what's going on using scrolling kernel messages: tail -f /varlog/messages. Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.
