Anyone else ever seen this?
My computer got restarted (presumable by my 3 y.o. daughter) and now all of a sudden my keyboard doesn't work in GDM.
Works fine in the BIOS, plymouth, it will even wake up the monitor when it goes to sleep, but when GDM comes up I can't do anything. Not even numlock.
For the time being I have been booting up to run level 3, logging in, and starting x manually. Everything works that way.
I didn't see anything suspicious updates in the yum log so I'm at a loss.
Thanks, Richard

Stop gdm service and see what happens....
Have a look in dmesg,.... in /var/log/messages (grep -i gdm)

I'll have to try that, but if there's no gdm service and I telinit 5, what exactly happens?

I just tried it, no output, but I had already checked the usual suspects.
Thanks, Richard

Almost nothing: you don't have service mouse on the console. In graphic mode, mouse control is managed by X11 (or whatever it is called now)

Well downgrading GDM didn't help. One interesting note. I was looking through the log files and noticed that /var/log/gdm had the sticky bit set "T" on other. After downgrading the permissions went back to what I expected. Upgraded again and the perms still look right. Not sure what happened there.
Still can't log in graphically though. I've got no clue where to look now.

Out of interest, is it USB? If so, does unplugging it and replugging it help?

Yes it's USB, but no, I've tried plugging it in almost every port. I too figured it was a USB issue at first.
Same result: Nothing in GDM, fine in everything else.
Thanks, Richard
