[ltp] XFree4.5.0 - unresponsive keyboard

Hi,

Without entering in the Xfree vs. XOrg debate, I have got an unresponsive
keyboard on my R40 by updating to XFree 4.5.0 (Mandrake 10.0).  "X" starts
correctly, mouse + touchpad work, and the login screen appears.  But it is
somewhat difficult to login without being able to type...

What I tried (appart from reading XFree manuals and searching on the web) was
to use the old vs. the new configuration files, every time the result is the
same...I tried the "keyboard" and the "kbd" driver both without getting
different results...and now I run out of ideas.

Has anybody any suggestion how to chase away a dead keyboard?

Thanks - Matthias
