keyboard stopped working after a minute or two

I'm so happy to get the Gnome/X windows to start beautifully on my computer but then the keyboard stops working about a minute or two after login. My mouse works just fine. I can use the keyboard on Xterm for a minute or so and then it stops working for no reason. I followed the steps in the sticky without much luck.
 
Try adding those two options into xorg.conf file (they must be in ServerLayout section:

Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
  # Other settings...    
  Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
  Option "AllowEmptyInput" "Off"
EndSection
 
I tried that from reading other threads but still no luck, by the way I use the "ServerFlags" instead of "Serverlayout" in xorg.conf
 
I got around this problem by doing the following:

1) Removed my PS/2 Mouse
2) Reinstalled FreeBSD 7.2

I almost gave up after spending a good 16 hours searching for any hints on solving this annoying problem. Out of frustration, I switched to Fedora and that worked just fine, gnome came up instantly. Although I am glad I did not give up on trying FreeBSD.
