Re: Keyboard/mouse problems with X
Just a thought, I've noticed such behaviour when an X display manager (xdm,
gdm, wdm, etc.) is installed, and you are using more than the default 6
virtual terminals. (X display manager tries to spawn on VT7 by default.)
Did you happen to install a display manager when you upgraded?
