Bug#586540: kdm on initial start at kfreebsd bootup does not allow keyboard input
Hi. The easiest solution for now is to alter ServerArgsLocal at least on GNU/kFreeBSD in /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc to ServerArgsLocal=vt7 -br -nolisten tcp It's very likely that this change would break Start new session feature of KDE which works fine at the moment. While I could live with having it broken on kFreeBSD, that's definitely not acceptable for Linux where this problem does not manifest itself. The bug we are facing here is that kdm starts on vt2 when it's not supposed to even bother with VTs below 7. ServerVTs=-7 setting in /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc takes care of it (on Linux). However, apparently ServerVTs does not work on kfbsd for some reason (nor it's present in default kdmrc). Finding that reason would be the real fix and I will look into it later today/tomorrow. It could be as easy as #define which does not cover kfbsd (I hope). Given it looks like it is not so easy, would be possible to upload new package with ServerArgsLocal=vt7 -br -nolisten tcp on GNU/kFreeBSD. It would workaround the bug for squeeze now, the VT switching can be implemented later.

Just I don't have time to do more testing and proper upload right now. But I will get to it eventually, don't worry. Unfortunately, kdm state on kfsbd is not that good overall. Restart/shutdown does not work from KDE sessions, kdm restarts whether it's not supposed to. I planned to look into this as well but I got distracted by kfbsd keyboard layout issues and eventually got overloaded with work. So this bug will have to wait a bit. -- Modestas Vainius modes...@vainius.eu signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

This bug is a real hurdle for KDE on kfreebsd-* as it enforces a manual X restart by the user at every reboot. (Rising the kdmrc ServerTimeout as mentioned in various places doesn't help either). kFreeBSD porters: could you please take a look at that ? Cheers, OdyX You might want to look what has done in gdm3, which according to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=586539#20, has a TTY manager that takes kFreeBSD into account. So although gdm had the same issue as kdm, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=586539#5, the issue was not present on gdm3, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=586539#25. Further, a different issue on gdm3 has been fixed so gdm3 now works as a login manager on kfreebsd, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=592549#25.

The problem is order of start during boot. The /etc/inittab line l2:2:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 2 is performed before 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 ttyv1 cons25 therefore during kdm/X start, the vt2 (ttyv1, ALT+F2) is still free. When started after boot, the vt2 is occupied and vt7 (ttyv6, ALT+F7) is allocated correctly.
