IMHO this is not KDE's fault, but X: probably you will notice that in terminal the console is working properly. In the last X version keyboard and mouse are managed differently (by evdev driver) and If this is your problem, you should remove every line related to mouse and keyboard from /etc/X11/xorg.conf and after configure console through: dpkg-reconfigure console-data. If you really need a different setup (evdev is not able to catch all the possible multimedia keys) you should tweak your xorg.conf to let X use the old drive. Bye Valerio
