To those of you who are having these problems, do you have the
"firmware-linux" package installed?

Otherwise it could be that firmware is missing for your hardware.
Seems like firmware was extracted into its own package as of kernel
2.6.32.

I just installed firmware-linux and it dragged in firmware-linux- nonfree . I rebooted afterwards, just to be sure. It did *not* solve my problem. The keyboard is still dead in X.

I repeat, in my case, the keyboard works fine as long as X is not running.

Some other people have a slightly different problem. They have dead keyboards even during boot -- e.g. when it's time to enter their crypto keys.



FWIW, my USB keyboard is present and is recognized as a keyboard:

rbtho...@greybox:~$

Also FWIW, I have no xorg.conf file. This was working fine until a recent upgrade.

Thanks for any help you can give...
