Login Text Box Doesn't Have Focus

BTW i'm on Dapper Beta 2

Here's some more info on my setup:

GDM - 2.4.16
kernel - 2.6.15-21-386
ATI x700 mobile - opengl 2.0.5755 (8.24.8)

Thanks for your bug. Do you use a xinerama setup?

No I do not use Xinerama....single screen setup here (i'm on a laptop).

what gdm theme do you use? what is the focus when gdm starts on the boot?

I use the Human theme......But i've experiemented with others and the same problem persists.
I have a custom startup sounds play when login screen is ready...I tried disabling that but the problem still persists.

As for where the focus is.....I've no idea. When the login screen is ready the cursor is flashing in the text box. But not untill the second key that i press does anything get inputed to the text box.

If i press a key at any time during the boot up process then the focus is correclty in the login box....which makes me think it isn't just a GDM bug.

Any updates?

I'm using Dapper Drake now and i still have been having this problem up til now.....very annoying.

no update or we would have commented on that page, maybe upstream would have better idea on what could cause that if somebody wants to forward it to bugzilla.gnome

I've noticed the same behaviour.

Setup is:
Acer TravelMate 2201LC
Intel Celeron processor 2.6GHz
ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000 IGP
Linux 2.6.15-26-686

Does not depend on gdm theme nor keyboard issues. The first keypress is simply not registered. If I click the face browser, so I don't have to type in the username, the first keypress of the password is not registered in stead.

When i update to the latest kernel from kernel.org this problem goes away.....
However some other things brake so i went back to the stock Dapper kernel......and still have this problem.

The first key press simply isn't registered, and if it is registered it's not displayed in the text box.

This is rather a kernel issue then.

I'd be interested in knowing if this problem also occurs when booting in rescue mode to the console.

If this doesn't happen on console, then I believe it is not a kernel issue.

WHen i booted into Rescue Mode through GRUB and waited for everything to finish loading....at the first prompt i pressed a key and this message appeared followed by a new line and a flashing cursor waiting for a prompt...

[17179618.364000] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input2

Then everything i pressed after that showed up on the screen.

Excellent information. From what I can tell, this is basically a hardware issue. Your keyboard just isn't communicating properly with the driver.

Rejecting on that basis.
