I'm running Ubuntu Dapper on a system that dual-boots with MS Windows. (Under

I had been using PS/2-type mouse and keyboard on this system, but the PS/2
mouse port on the motherboard suddently stopped working. (No PS/2 mouse that
was tried would work in either Dapper or Windoze.) A USB mouse was connected
in place of the PS/2 unit. Dapper picked up the USB mouse automagically with
no problem, but now the PS/2 keyboard does not work, cannot log into the GUI
or switch virtual screens! The keyboard and USB mouse work fine together on
the Windows side of the system, and the keyboard works fine to access the
system BIOS, so it's not a hardware problem. (Have not tried a USB keyboard
as I do not have one handy and want to keep my present genuine IBM PS/2
keyboard if at all possible.)
Anyone know the proper mystical incantations needed to get the PS/2 keyboard
working in conjunction with the USB mouse? Thanks for any help with this,
I really prefer not to use Windows but am stuck with it on this system until
the problem is sorted out...
Could you post the "InputDevice" sections of your xorg.conf file? If you only have one set of mouse and keyboard, there really shouldn't be any problem, but I would try another input driver (evdev for example, if you are currently using the normal "keyboard" driver).
Oh, and the input initialization part of the /var/log/Xorg.0.log might be of help too (usually the laste couple of screens or so).
