[CLUG] Quick X/gdm/Keyboard Problem

[CLUG] Quick X/gdm/Keyboard Problem

Hello all.

I've a PC set up at home with Ximian on debian at home.

Problem is - start the PC - gdm comes up - the mouse works perfectly, but
the keyboard might as well be unplugged.

If I :

ssh in, become root, killall gdm, gdm - gdm comes back up & the keyboard
works fine.

Now its not a massive problem if I've a network at home, but my switch is on
loan to a friend @ the moment so its a balls having to connect a crossover
cable to access the PC.

Any ideas what's wrong? And more to the point - any idea what to do? Please
don't suggest disabling gdm in /etc/rc2.d since I like the graphical
interface!!

Over to the collective,

Daniel
