Once I am logged in, using a KDE session, the keyboard is dead. If I log in as root using a KDE session, the keyboard works fine. Anyone have any ideas? Update: I fixed the problem by deleting the user account and recreating it. I'd still love to know what caused this so I can fix it without resorting to a crowbar.
