Hello,
I decided to try XFree86 4.1.0, but it won't start; the X server hangs
during keyboard initialization. The following backtrace is from a
recent CVS version:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x80a8fc0 in inb (port=100)
at ../../../../../../programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/compiler.h:1135
#1 0x80a8dff in xf86SetKbdRepeat (rad=32 ' ') at lnx_io.c:197
#2 0x808fb91 in xf86InitKBD (init=1) at xf86Io.c:246
#3 0x808fd8c in xf86KbdProc (pKeyboard=0x8372518, what=0) at xf86Io.c:338
#4 0x80cc2eb in InitAndStartDevices () at devices.c:169
#5 0x80e3728 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbffffccc, envp=0xbffffcd4) at main.c:403
It hangs in this loop:
while ((inb(0x64) & 2) == 2); /* wait */
I guess that line is trying to read something from an AT keyboard, but
I don't have one... 4.0.3 did not have this problem.
Just putting a 'return' before the infinite loop fixes the problem,
and I can also use my USB keyboard. But I don't believe this is a good
fix... :)
What's a good solution?
Regards,
Pontus
