    I suppose this may be init killing the keyboard. I tried the runlevel
    editor from startx KDE as root. I then disabled the keyboard, intending
    to immediately reenable it, thinking that might clear a corrupted init
    file somewhere. This didn't work. Now kbd is not enabled. When I try to
    enable it, I get:

    /etc/init.d/kbd start
    loading keymap qwerty/us.map.gz
