Yep the keyboard refuses to work. Tried it in openbox and it works fine. This just happened after i fixed the xorg 7.4 keyboard problems. Maybe theyre related but im not sure. The mouse works fine.

Heres a few pieces of xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"

# Serial Mouse not detected
# USB Mouse not detected
Identifier "Xorg Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "true"
Option "Xinerama" "0"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" ""
EndSection

Not sure how to solve your problem with your current settings, but perhaps try this..

Set the driver in xorg.conf there for the keyboard to evdev instead, and install xf86-input-evdev accordingly. Then, go to system settings -> regional & language -> keyboard layout. Set the keyboard model to evdev-managed keyboard. Gnome needs something similar done. I'm not sure about openbox.

When i start with the evdev driver, i cant type anything in kdm thus i cant login. This is after selecting evdev managed keyboard in settings.
But when i use the keyboard driver , i can type in kdm but nothing once im logged in.

EDIT: It was that stupid option slow keys. Who knew slow keys would completely disable your keyboard.
