After upgrading from the previous xorg-server version to 0.99.4-r2, the keyboard doesn't work in KDE 3.5. In fluxbox, the keyboard does work. In the KDE login manager, too. But when I've logged in into a KDE session, the keyboard is dead. One exception: when I press the Ctrl-Key in Konqueror, I can see the expected reaction. The /var/log/messages doesn't show something suspectable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xorg-server 0.99.4-r2 & friends 2. emerge kde 3.5 3. login in KDE Actual Results: see Details Expected Results: The keyboard should work Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre11 Portage 2.0.53 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r3, 2.6.14-gentoo i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14-gentoo i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.15 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks prelink sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="de_DE" LC_ALL="en_US" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X a52 acl acpi alsa apm arts audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr crypt cups curl divx4linux dri dts dv dvb dvd dvdread eds emboss encode esd exif expat fam fame ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif glut gmp gpm gstreamer gtk2 guile idn imagemagick imlib ipv6 irmc java jpeg junit kde kdepim kdexdeltas lcms libg++ libwww mad matroska mikmod mmx mmxext mng motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcre pda pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline recode samba scanner sdl speex spell sqlite sse ssl subtitles svg svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb uselocales visualization vorbis xine xml2 xmms xv xvid zeroconf zlib linguas_de userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LDFLAGS

Update: I've found out, that the numeric pad keys are working in a KDE session.
It's probably because of the changes in paths. Try: cd /usr/X11/lib ln -s /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB And then restart your login manager and try again. The same problem exists with XErrorDB and locales for some applications.. I'm looking for a better solution..
I've set the link from /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB to /usr/X11R6/lib/XKeysymDB (I suppose, you mean X11R6/lib instead of X11/lib), but it doesn't solve the problem.

No, I didn't mean /usr/X11R6/lib, but /usr/lib/X11/ Try linking it in there.. Sorry for the typo.
Yes, that did the trick. Thank you very much!
