Odd keyboard problem

Hi guys!

I am expiriencing an odd phenomenon on
my Slack 8 machine at home ...

Today I installed Webmin and used it to
modify my lilo.conf (just toying with it, no real
change) ...

After that, when I rebooted, the box ran up fine,
just the keyboard seems to be dead until I click
"restart X Server" on kdm's login screen... problem
is persistent through reboots :\

Then everything is normal again... any ideas
what's happening?

Cheers,
Tink

Odd phenomenon solved :}

I am using a non-slack approach for getting X up, rather
than modifying inittab I start kdm from rc.local (because I
love my 6 terminals :} that I was used from SuSE) ... well,
installing Webmin resulted in starting webmin from the same
shell as kdm just AFTER it, that's why the keyboard was gone.

Re-ordered them in rc.local, and everything nice :}

Cheers,
Tink
