Re: KDSETKEYCODE: No Such Device. Cannot Set scancode xx to keycode xxx.
I just reinstalled the gnome tools I had uninstalled, and also check the console kbd package, the problem still exists: error message during startup, can not start X automatically.
If its about the keymap, which package should I have?
I checked in the installed package, there are console-data console-tools and the kbd I just installed.
Thanks for your help!

It would help to know which packages you (un)installed right before the
problem started. Check out the /var/log/dpkg.log* files.

To rule out hardware problems, test your system with Knoppix or another
suitable live CD.
My guess is that you accidentally uninstalled one of the packages that
handles the keyboard setup. What output do you get for:
dpkg -l \*console\* \*kbd\* | awk '/^[^D|+]/{print $1,$2,$3}'
