Thanks for the promptness! And for the advice too... I promise I won't try to unplug the PS 2 again, I was just wearing my "system tester hat" at that time :D To answer Gerhard's question, yes, the mouse is plugged in and works correctly. I can click on the Username and Password fields or I can Shutdown the system.
I don't have an Aha! solution for you... but maybe some additional troubleshooting? I'm curious what the result could be since I've also had a problem like this in the past with keyboards and Linux. Never did solve it, but that was a long time ago... Ummm what about things like Numlock light/Caps Lock light? Not a solution, but I'm curious if they still light up if you press the respective keys. What does /proc/bus/devices tell you? Is the keyboard still correct there? C
