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.

Ctrl-Alt-F1 doesn't even work :(

I tried Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.  It's not disabled on mine, but I still
had no result.

I didn't know about the SysRq-K key sequence.  It's worth a try.

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?

Thanks,
    Vince
