greetings!
using Trinity Desktop, David Hare's exegnu, on Acer Aspire One 722 with kernel 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-686-pae.
I can run Manjaro 3.9.4-1-xxx and Debian Trinity kernel 2.6.32-6-686 (also Hare's version) on this boxlet without a problem except I was fumbling with getting wifi started on the latter, thus the bright idea to up the kernel. (I can afford to 'play' on this machine.)
the trouble is that booting into the gui causes touchpad and mouse to freeze at the login screen, requiring a reboot.
I can boot via grub to the bash shell, get in as user and run 'sudo startx' or 'sudo kdm' and there's no problem.
I've fished around but hoped someone would have a quick insight or fix.
thanks.

Hello Felmon,
I had something very similar on my desktop PC running Debian-6.0.7 To be candid I messed up something myself... But discovered, that unplugging wireless keyboard and mouse solves problem temporarily. It looks that _hotplug _facility_ is not working... You're lucky having console access, Hi!
Merry Christmas and Happy New 2014 Year!
Best regards. Tom - sp2lob

I don't have a wifi keyboard or mouse though. actually, I shouldn't have said 'mouse', it's the _trackpad_.
I might try connecting a usb trackball and see if it gets recognized but I think the gui is frozen.

and using 'startx' gets me into gui-land too!
Merry Christmas and Happy New 2014 Year!

happy new year!

If I understand correctly, the display manager is running things at that point. So the first thing I'd try is a different display manager, like lightdm or gdm instead of kdm-trinity.

I say 'fixed' and not 'solved' since I have no idea what happened!
I was booting into recovery mode and trying to get wifi to work, something to do with the atheros drivers. google yielded a tip about changing something in the udev-ilish rules as there was this weird atl1.c driver that kept showing up in dmesg as failing.
all I know is that I got wifi to work and decided to do a normal boot, that is, cold boot and proceed automatically to X.
no problem. went from start to gui without a hiccup and with normal use of touchpad and keyboard.
wicd isn't behaving so that's the next front.
if I wanted to set the default window-manager from the commandline, which script do I alter?

# dpkg-reconfigure <$desktop-manager> e.g. # dpkg-reconfigure <gdm>
(I find that I have to do this every time I update/upgrade. It sets itself back to gdm and I reset it to kdm-trinity.)

there seem no limits to 'dpkg-reconfigure'!
I'm going to try 'dpkg-reconfigure my_appt' or 'dpkg-reconfigure my_life' and see what it does.
thanks.
