[Gllug] Debian 2.2r3 Fun....

[SteveC]

Good point - chmod a-x it from another terminal *doh* :-)

I have a problem with gdm-ximian that if gdm starts straight away the
keyboard simply doesn't work, but if I boot into single, chmod a-x it, then
boot and then run gdm from the shell the keyboard will work.

I mean I can't even switch terms. Its bizarre. I havn't seen anything
relavent in the log and since the machine hardly reboots it doesn't biother
me much. Oh well.
