Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg
Since the last xorg update of 8.10 the keyboard is not working in the loginmanager right after starting. I cannot enter username or password. The mouse is working. Alt+F1 is still working so I can switch to console.
If I restart kdm using /etc/init.d/kdm restart the keyboard is working again. This has to be done on every reboot.
Analysis: X/kdm seems to rely on hal, which however wasn't started yet when kdm starts.
Workaround: switch to vt and restart kdm.
