Hello,
My main server (Netbsd-9 from cvs tree) doesn't run X until yesterday
as I have to configure a new 4G modem (my DSL line is broken...). Thus,
I have configured Xorg, Windowmaker and wdm.
legendre:[/etc] > uname -a

r...@legendre.systella.fr:/usr/src/netbsd-9/obj/sys/arch/amd64/compile/CUSTOM
amd64
In rc.conf, I have added wdm=YES and modified /etc/ttys and
/etc/wscons.conf to avoid "getty repeating too quickly" error in console:

When NetBSD starts, wdm is launched, mouse works fine, but keyboard not
! I cannot switch from X console to ttyE1, but from a remote server, if
I kill X or wdm, I see that keyboard has sent characters to ttyE1 (login
I have enter in wdm is written after 'login: ' on ttyE1).
If I restart wdm, keyboard is active in wdm.
I don't understand why wdm loses keyboard when it is started during
boot. Explanation will be welcome.
Best regards,
JB
