Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.3.1-3
Followup-For: Bug #266106

I have the same problem as reported concerning the keyboard : kdm is launched 
at startup as usual (as with 3.2) but no keyboard input is possible. Even the 
NumLock key doesn't work.
It seems though that kdm is aware of the keyboard as any key press implies a 
longer delay (double I think) of the cursor blink.

The solution I find is simply to use the mouse. It works very well. It's 
strange, isn't it ?
Thus, I use the mouse and click on "Console login". On console, I login, kill 
any kdm, sudo kdm and then I can use the keyboard again.

I understand absolutely nothing to this problem : I have the same stupid 
keyboard as before, and I never change its configuration.

You found nothing in log messages although I found in /var/log/kdm.log 
something which seems interesting but I can decrypt it :
"The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Warning:          Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols
>                   Ignoring extra symbols
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server"

This message was not part of my kdm logs before the update.
