DetailsDescription:
I'm using ION3 for a kind of Firefox kiosk. User is logged in automatically by GDM. After yesterday's system update ION fails to start all it's functions. But only if user is auto logged. If I unlock account and log in typing user name and password everything runs fine. I'm not sure if it is GDM or X fault. Additionally I have problems with keyboard: no num, caps or scroll lock leds, short freezes and letters are repeated many times without any reason. It doesn't matter if I log in manually. Below .xsession-errors: >> XF86Mail: Could not convert keysym to keycode. >> XF86Reload: Could not convert keysym to keycode. >> XF86Search: Could not convert keysym to keycode. >> XF86Favorites: Could not convert keysym to keycode. >> XF86HomePage: Could not convert keysym to keycode. >> Shift+XF86HomePage: Could not convert keysym to keycode. >> XF86AudioRaiseVolume: Could not convert keysym to keycode. >> XF86AudioLowerVolume: Could not convert keysym to keycode. >> XF86AudioMute: Could not convert keysym to keycode. >> XF86AudioPrev: Could not convert keysym to keycode. >> XF86AudioNext: Could not convert keysym to keycode. >> XF86AudioPlay: Could not convert keysym to keycode. >> XF86AudioMedia: Could not convert keysym to keycode. >> XF86AudioStop: Could not convert keysym to keycode. >> XF86Stop: Could not convert keysym to keycode. Package versions: gdm 2.20.0-1 xorg-server 1.4-3 xf86-input-keyboard 1.2.2-2 ion3 3rc-20070927 Steps to reproduce: Use keyboard in X. Allow the GDM to auto login user. |

Reason for closing: Won't fix
Additional comments about closing: ion3 was removed from repositories,
if similar issue happens with other WMs - create separate bugreports

Tested xf86-input-keyboard. Version 1.1.1 doesn't compile. Version 1.2.1 does compile, but screen goes black and stays black even when X stops.

Problem with keyboard leds is known and there is bug already opened at bugs.freedesktop.org. So probably it isn't related to GDM problem. I've changed keyboard to another one and I don't have problem with keys freezing and repeating anymore. But LEDs are still off.

It is somehow X fault. For X from "testing" KDM doesn't work too. More - KDM doesn't start greeter after logout. After downgrade to "extra" ION (any version) is starting without any errors.
