Not much help but I have the same problem on my HP Pavilion ze5400
I couldn't log in through gdm or kdm. I was able to startx but any typing
was impossible.
I played around with xorg.conf for a while and came up with this.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
## Option "XKbOptions" ""
Option "XkbKeycodes" "xorg"
Option "XkbTypes" "default"
Option "XkbSymbols" "en_US(pc104)"
Option "XkbGeometry" "pc(pc104)"
Option "XkbCompat" "basic+pc+iso9995"
The first three lines have always worked on this laptop until now. Any one
of the lines below the ## line restores my keyboard to operational status.
However, I can no longer ctl>alt F# to a terminal and key repeat is not
working. Setting keyboard settings in gnome does not change anything.
