           Summary: Keyboard does not work on login screen
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: KDE

On the graphical login screen (kdm?), my keyboard does not work properly:
initially, the focus is on the password field. When I press certain keys,
nothing seems to happen; with other keys, one "dot" appears (as expected), and
sometimes, pressing one key leads to a very long series of dots (until the
field is filled up, I guess).

Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1, for example, and then Ctrl+Alt+F7 solves the problem:
using backspace, I can remove the contents of the password field, type the
password normally, and login.

Otherwise, my keyboard (a "normal" one which worked perfectly with several
previous versions of (open)suse) seems to work fine.

On my laptop, the same problem does not appear.
