Had to change motherboard in my Linux box and everything works fine now except the Keybaord.:confused:

Keyboard works fine in console but in stops working when X is started....Any ideas why this would be.....all worked fine before.

Just for information I'm using Redhat Linux 9 (Running Kernel Version 2.4.20-19.9)

Thanks in advance for any help

Regards
John

You will need to reconfigure the keyboard section of X - either manually or with one of the config tools.

Before what? Did you change something in your configuration?

Anyway, since you can use the keyboard from a terminal, log into the root account at the terminal and open vi, and then /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.

Have a look at the keyboard settings. Do they look correct? Does "Identifier" name of the keyboard input device match the name in the "Server Layout" section?

You could also just post the contents of that file here, and we'll try and see if anything looks weird.
