After upgrading to STABLE a few days ago, several odd problems developed: 1. cups did not start automatically. It turned out the CUPS script was being given the parameter 'faststart' rather than 'start' 2. GDM started but in an odd mode that didn't detect any keyboard input (so I couldn't log in). The mouse continued to work. When I started in nongraphical mode and manually started GDM as root, it worked normally. Any suggestions?
Two of us just went through it, last week. A number of tweaks gets you going again, but the real answer is to set: VTAllocation=true in /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf You may want to set the Virtual Terminal you want as well. I turn off 5-8 to tty, and have mine come on VT5. I never use the four as it is. Paul.

If your port is not already up to date, delete /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups*, upgrade the port, and 'cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ && ln -s cups.sh.sample cups.sh' If your port is up to date, delete cups.sh and symlink it as above. hth, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
