hi all, i've been running SuSE 9.2Pro + KDE-unstable without any issue. very cool. after a recent update to latest KDE beta (from component: kde-unstable) i've lost the ability to type any keystrokes when auto-logged-in. specifically, if i start in failsafe mode, i can type at the console. if from the console i 'startx' as either ROOT or MYUSER, up comes my usual desktop and everything works great. i can open any application and type ... however, if i use my standard auto-login set up to boot into user MYUSER, the desktop comes up as i'd expect. i can mouse around, point-n-click & launch apps, but keyboard input is DOA -- nothing. not in konsole, browser, etc. -- just nothing. to troubleshoot, i've gone the usual route of moving my /home/MYUSER/.kde out of the way, and deleting all .x*, .X* and .ICE* files ... after reboot, absolutely the same behavior as above. autologin into ROOT has the same issue. any wisdom/suggestions as to where to look/what to do here? this is driving me nuts :-S cheers, richard
