Well, my upgrade from 3.1.5 to 3.2.0 (3.1.5 is still installed)
finally finished. I have a small problem though... When KDM starts I
lose my keyboard. If I click the option for a console login the
keyboard starts working again. Does anyone have any ideas on how to
get my keyboard working for a graphical login?

No one has any ideas? If I login to the console and then type"startx"
my keyboard works fine inside of KDE, it's just KDM that seems to have
a problem.

I have no idea either. Have you tried xdm to see if that works any
better?

No, actually I didn't. I'll give that a try today.

Ok, XDM works. KDM still doesn't. Any ideas?

Same problem here. The problem is reported both to kde-bugzilla and
bugs.gentoo.org. Nobody seems to have an answer though. I am searching
around these days, but I am not finding an answer too. I have twho
machines with this problem, and I'm wondering how this happens.

Well, as long as someone knows about it. I guess I'll have to use XDM
until it gets fixed. Is there any way to customize XDM? I liked
being able to shutdown the system without logging in first.

GDM is nice too[1]. I'm guessing it does about what you want, tho I've
never used KDM so I can't compare those.

[1] If you happen to have gnome installed, that is..
