<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Howdy,<br><br>I have an IBM thinkpad with it's "standard" monitor and keyboard. It's been connected to a larger monitor and usb keyboard and usb mouse. The xorg.conf is a dual head config.<br><br>This has been working for a few weeks now but has started failing.<br><br>During boot and subsequent login the keyboard and mouse (gpm started) and display (larger monitor) work fine. When I startx, the keyboard becomes "dead to the world". NO signals are sent from the keyboard as far as I can tell.<br><br>I had just configured VNC server and made it start at boot time when this problem appeared.<br><br>I am sadly in need of hints/tips/suggestions as to how to trouble shoot this problem.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>George...<br><br><br>"It's not what you know that hurts you, It's what you know that ain't so."
