When gdm got started, and took over the main screen the keyboard locked and the program would not allow me to type my username/password. Mouse still responded however. I attempted to switch virtual consoles, but each time I switched I simply got the gdm window again, forcing me to go to another computer and telnet to "fix" the problem. This is mentioned in the redhat-devel-list as well, but I did not find a bug entry listed for it. BTW, gdm should be added to the component menu for bugzilla.

probably caused by a tab bug that we've fixed in our current devel tree. If you can reproduce this with gdm-1.0.0-21 or later please reopen this bug and provide more information, like precisely what version of gdm you are using. Thanks.
I am experiencing the same condition. Fresh installation (no kernel recompile, system reconfiguration, etc.). System boots to gdm and no regular keyboard activity appears to work. <CTL>-<ALT>-<DEL> still reboots. My gnome-related package versions are as follows: gdm-1.0.0-23 gnome-core-1.0.4-5 gnome-libs-1.0.5-9 The PC is a Dell Latitude XPi CD laptop with a P150, 32MB RAM.
Fixed in XFree86-3.3.3.1-45 and initscripts-4.13-1
