keyboard problem on X windows

[nomanlan]

My PS/2 keyboard works fine on console mode, but when I go into X windows or Gnome desktop the keyboard stopped working, my ps/2 mouse works just fine, I can open up terminal window but can't seem to type anything in. I am running 7.2 release that I downloaded a few days ago. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I noticed a couple of times, the keyboard works right after Gnome starts up, I can type in Xterm window but then the keyboard stops working all together in about a minute or two.

My mouse and keyboard don't work at all. But when I add these lines to the head of my xorg.conf, they work.
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "Off"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "Off"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off"
Option "AutoEnableDevices" "Off"
EndSection

That's because Xorg 7.4 uses HAL to detect keyboards and mice. Just add to /etc/rc.conf:

hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"


You'll need those anyway for KDE, GNOME and XFCE.
