    Hello,

    Ik have a weird problem i hope you will be able to help me with.

    Problem:
    After upgrading my sarge-system (lots of packages, no idea which causes the
    problem) suddenly i cannot type letters in de kdm-login window. Numbers and
    other keys work just fine, just no letters. In a console login i don't have
    problems.

    Things i tried:
    *restart xserver (ctrl-bksp works just fine)
    *restart kdm from console login (selected with my mouse)
    *dpkg-reconfigure kdm
    *install gdm: same problem, no letters, just numbers and other keys

    In the console my keyboard is just fine and i am able to use startx. That
    boots gnome automatically, eventhough i always use kde. Startkde results in
    errors ($display not set?). After booting into gnome i can use all my keys
    again and am i able to start kde programs (and still use all my keys). This
    way i also was able to check my kdm settings in kcontrol.

    In the Bugtracker i could only find errors where the whole keyboard fails,
    not just the letters. That involved kdm setting the wrong terminal, but my
    terminal is vt7 and i have the same problem in gdm.
    Once i am in gnome bypassing de display managerlogin everything is fine
    again, so i guess it is not related to the xserver.

    Now i do not know what to check anymore, i hope one/some of you can help me
    solve this.

    Best regards,

    Jeroen
