I’m facing a weird problem on my OPENSuse 12.3. I have a PS2 keyboard working perfectly. However, when I plug my USB mini keyboard the problem starts.
The fist time I plug the keyboard on KDE it works perfect all keys. But if I reboot my machine or if I logoff the keyboard starts to work very strange. For example
the keys u => 4, o => 6, ç => +, p => -, j => 1, etc. So I have to unplug and plug it again and starts to work.
I want to use my usb keyboard… but I have always to keep my PS2 keyboard to type the password, and this situation is disturbing me … I don’t know what to do.
Please open a terminal window, plug in the mini keyboard and run the commands below. Copy the output and paste it here, between CODE tags (the # in the editor).
Thanks for the information, I just saw your message now because I didnt receive an alert from this forum telling my post was answered. The commands you told to run are bellow:

I did not find a solution until now. The only thing I did since the date of this first post is that the PS2 keyboard is now fully unpluged. When I boot my machine and the login screen shows, I have to unplug and plug again my USB keyboard so I can type de password. So KDE starts and once again i have to unplug and plug the usb keyboard one more time so the keys do not get messed up as I reported in fist post.
