Re: Keyboard not responding
I had this same problem when I tried upgrading to Ximian Gnome beta 1 -
having gdm start up on booting resulted in not being able to type anything
in, but booting into a plain console, going root, and then running gdm
resulted in it working fine. I'm afraid I couldn't figure out how to fix it,
so I just downgraded to the last stable release and haven't had any trouble
since :).
