I found your bug report and read through it before posting my message. Unfortunately, the problem isn't the same. I can log in without difficulty. It isn't until after I log in that I lose the ability to use the keyboard. > > === bugreport against 9.3 beta === > After booting, KDM does not accept any key press events.

It's not disabled on mine, but I still had no result. I didn't know about the SysRq-K key sequence.

[Andreas Pohlke in drsst] > I knew it!!! ... :) ... o well I only understand 2 words: Borg and M$, but that sums it up pretty well :) Well, I'd still like to try KDE out. It's very wierd. Gnome works without problems. There must be some log file somewhere that says what's happening, but I don't know where. I've already taken a look at .xsession_errors, but I didn't see anything that looked important. Does anyone have any ideas where to look?
