[Bug 303576] [NEW] KDM is killing my keyboard (and others)

[Edmundo]

Public bug reported:

Well.... what started as a problem with the keyboard and not being able
to start compiz as different bugs ended up being related (apparently) to
kdm.

When I get to kdm, all things are OK. I can write "@" (altgr + q) and
can move the cursor with the keys. Also, on the VTs, everything is OK.

When I log into kde by kdm (kubuntu intrepid on a Presario V3317la with
the Nvidia driver) the arrows don't work at all and altgr behaves like
<intro>. Also, Compiz doesn't get to start... and that's because I
didn't get DirectRendering activated (according to glxinfo). Also I
always get a message about an application crashing detected by kde4d.
All things apparently unrelated.

Now.... the thing that is bothering me the most is the keyboard, so I
started testing. I shutdown kdm and started kde by hand:

sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
X &
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 startkde

When i did this, I got to KDE as usual, but:
1 The keyboard is working perfectly
2 I got no error about any application crashing on the startup
3 Got DirectRendering working and could start compiz by hand: compiz --replace

Any idea of how I can solve it?

Thanks!
