problem logging in on gentoo

Anjar · 04-01-2006, 09:54 PM

i had just installed gentoo on my comp and i tried to login for the first time and everything i type in for the user name is doubled.
for example, if i typed "root" it wold print out "rroooott"
any ideas on how to fix this?

only press half a key at a time?

in rescue mode: create a user called aannjjaarr ... then you'll be able to login, provided you set an appropriately doubled password.

But try the non-graphical login first - see if this is a general problem.

may be trouble with keyboard or kbd driver ... or just a messed up login.

if it is the keyboard driver (which im pretty sure it is) how would i fix it?

Hi,

Check out that you have the correct keyboard layout installed in your xorg.conf file.

Did you do a graphical install? Did you specify any 'extra' settings for your keyboard during that
process?

Did you check out the handbook (for 2006.0)

i dont think xorg is the problem
