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.
F.

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.

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!

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 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?

I'm going to try 'dpkg-reconfigure my_appt' or 'dpkg-reconfigure
my_life' and see what it does.
thanks.
