KDE Keyboard doesn’t work
Basically one day, my keyboard stopped working. I could use the mouse, but the keyboard doesn’t work. Even if I put a USB keyboard on it. So… after some debugging… I found this:
- Keyboard works while booting up
- Works during login
- When KDE starts, the keyboard disappears (I did this by pushing the caps lock key to see the light come on)
- Even the virtual keyboard didn’t work
- Somehow I managed to log into console (non-X) and the keyboard worked. Checked dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but everything looked good.
So… I searched online, and found this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=458036
Basically… yes, that was my problem. I turned on accessibility “slow keys”. From what I remember, it was before class, and I was playing a flash game. Holding down a key, the popup came up and asked something about accessibility. I just randomly clicked something and that is when it started to get “weird”.
After turning off “slow keys”, everything is good…
