Keyboard stops working after log in

Hello guys, I'm a newbie and I have a strange problem here. My PS/2 keyboard (DELUX DLK-K9820) stops working just after Gnome's login screen. I'm entering my credentials without problems, also keyboard works if I kill the X and it worked in FreeBSD installation. I red that the hal daemon loads keyboard and mouse automatically:

cat /etc/rc.conf
Code: 
...
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
gnome_enable="YES"
gdm_enable="YES"

...so everything looks ok here :/

My last chance was to switch to USB keyboard (Logitech Deluxe 250) and with this one I observed the same problem: entering password in Gnome's login screen and just after login keyboard stops working. xf86-input-keyboard driver is already installed.

I'm using FreeBSD x86 9.0 CURRENT on AMD Sempron 2800+.

Thanks in advance! :)
 
It's most likely a setting within Gnome itself. Xorg finds your keyboard or you wouldn't be able to use it at the login screen.

What happens if you create a new user account and login with that?
 
Hi again :)
I'll check it out later today, because I'm not at home write now. I should recompile manually it if it's already installed with 'gnome2' package.

It looks like libgnomekbd is installed correctly.
Code: 
libgnomekbd-2.32.0 is already installed.

I don't see any errors above this message.
 
Hi, I am new to freebsd and I have the same problem if I install any X from ports or pkgng (I think the problem is with xorg of ports but I am not sure) I've deleted all packages and installed X from repository and after that driver nvidia.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I am using FreeBSD 9.0 amd64.

It was a bit of a shot in the dark actually.
 
Please check if all your Gnome ports/packages are up to date. While I can't provide a direct solution for this problem, I sometimes encountered similar situations during incomplete update runs.
 
I started to upgrade the whole system (620 packages), three days later 681 remaining... (o.O) Аnd to not be off-topic I'll write after the update finished.
 
OK, all packages are up-to-date. But I still have the problem with keyboard, a little bit different - keyboard works ok on login screen and for 30-40 seconds after login, after that keyboard stops working. Keyboard works in console if I kill the X.org in Login screen.
