If I restart the X server (using the > mouse), keyboard works again. Hmm. Are you using a display manager (xdm, gdm, kdm, wdm) or startx? Or do you use both? Does the problem appear to be limited to X server instantiations started by xinit (startx) or by display managers? > Sometime ago I also installed sid and keyboard didn't work every time I > started the X server for first time.

When a display manager is used, the X server re-sets without completely shutting down as it does when you kill it from startx. > But this is another clean installation. > > I also have woody installed in the same computer and I have never had > this problem in woody. Can you try to get two different XFree86.0.log files? 1) when the keyboard doesn't work 2) when it does ...and then mail this bug report a "diff -u" of the two files? Be sure to tell me which one is the one with the working keyboard. -- G.
