I bought a USB adopter, connected keyboard and mouse to it and I could boot again with kb and mouse working properly. However, now I cannot start gnome nor kde from the concole. Both crash just before the panels should open. I can start twm and from there open applications like abiword, gnumeric. When I open gnome-panel or kicker from within twm causes a crash when then trying to open an application from those panels. Opening gnome or kde via gdm or xdm causes a reboot. Has this strange behavior anything to do with this USB connection of the kb/mouse and what would be needed then to correct it or is it just a coincidence meaning further trouble?
