This is very much a shot in the dark, because it's something I've vaguely heard of but never tried to check out... I believe some motherboards don't make that much of a distinction between the "keyboard" and "mouse" PS/2 ports, so you get a working keyboard even if you plug it into the wrong port. It's faintly possible that your MB is like this, your keyboard is plugged into the wrong port, and X doesn't like it... try swapping the mouse and keyboard over. Don't be too surprised if this doesn't work though... -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
