ps2 keyboard not working after upgrade 16.04 -> 18.04

[HelmutPod]

the problem seems to be related to xorg

Symptomes: no key works in xorg but the device
/dev/input/event2 is there and works according to evtest

The keyboard works during startup and in the text consoles.

"solution": I am now using a second usb keyboard
(/dev/input/event4 on my machine)

Dear Philippe, no clue here. I gave up and installed 18.04 from scratch
