Keyboard is dead at logon screen (GNOME, KDE4 etc.)

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi!
I have updated my 11.3x64 recently and after update
I cannot log into any X session.
Keyboard is dead but mouse is moving fine.
I tried to change kdm to gdm - no result!
All I can do now is - select by mouse “Console Session”
and log in to common terminal. In terminal session keyboard works.
I can’t understand What is it?
The most interesting:
If I run terminal as a root and run startx - kde desktop is started but the same way - without keyboard!
Hardware manager (YAST) shows: /dev/input/event0
and shows type of keyboard right: AT Keyboard bla-bla-bla. (Common Genius PS/2 keyboard for 6$ :-))
I suspect something wrong with my X11 but can’t get what!
I did not find xorg.conf in it’s standard place. I have found only /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install.
Somebody help me!!!
:slight_smile:

Thanks to all!

Finally I dissolved the problem by myself :slight_smile:
After 2 days of googling and digging in X configuration files
I have found that my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keytable.conf
contains only default configuration i.e. nothing!
Then I put into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keytable.conf following:

Section “InputClass”
Identifier “LocalKeyboard”
MatchIsKeyboard “on”
Option “XkbLayout” “us,ru”
Option “XkbVariant” “winkeys”
Option “XkbOptions” “grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll”
EndSection

Now everything is fine.

Mike
