FC9 keyboard stops working at KDE login

Hi,

I upgraded our FC7 development box to FC9 last weekend and almost everything has been working perfectly since.

I've resolved all minor problems bar one - when I switch into KDE my keyboard stops working.

When working in the console it's fine, but when I "telinit 5" to open the desktop environment, the only working input device is the mouse which is infuriating - the accessibility keyboard appears to be massively inaccurate and entering a username and password takes about a minute.

I'm not sure where I should look for log messages relating to this problem. Checking /var/log/messages it recognises when I unplug and plug the keyboard back in:

Other info: X Windows System (X11R6), KDE4, OS version: 2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686

I don't know whether it's relevant, but I have installed free-nxserver and can log in using nomachine with no problems - keyboard and mouse both work. It's only when I'm trying to work on the local machine that I have problems.

Please let me know what other information you need in order to help me.

Many thanks,
Chris
