While my debian/testing linux 2.6.15 i686 was on, and all is fine, it went to a screen saver, I moved the mouse to get back in but I don’t have a keyboard input, the mouse works but no keyboard, how do I go about this. I am using other box to make this post.
Can you ssh into the box, then su to root and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, which should allow you to reconfigure your keyboard? Or just try Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to reboot the xserver?
no ssh here, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does nothing, I used the mouse to iceWm>logoff to the console, where there is a line saying
waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath: FPE "unix/:7100" refcont is 2, should be 1; fixing.
Ok, after I hit reset, the box rebooted, I get
"keyboard error or no keyboard present", after few resets it booted and all worked fine. no idea why, I would like to know why, if any one knows, please turn the lihgts on here.
