Description:
My keyboard is not working this is a new install on a laptop compaq presario F756NR notebook PC


Additional info:
* package version(s)
I am using the nvidia 173.14.09-4 driver
* config and/or log files etc.
/etc/xorg.conf
/var/log/xdm.log

Steps to reproduce:
When I run xdm the login screen shows up the mouse moves, but typing does not produce anything it just sits there as if I did not have no keyboard.
The xdm log file says the following also a similar error can be found in the Xorg.0.log file about the kbd module

(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sat Jul 12 12:36:13 2008
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
(EE) Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "kbd" (module does not exist, 0)
(WW) NVIDIA: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:1:3) found
(II) Module "ramdac" already built-in
(EE) No Input driver matching `kbd'

When I take a look at my xorg.conf file I dont see no kbd under the input device for keyboard; I have tried changing the driver from keyboard to kbd but that does not fix the problem.

Also I have tried many xorg.conf files
1. Created by hwd -xa does not work either with nvidia or vesa driver
2. Created by the nvidia utility does not work
3. Create by Xorg -configure does not work

they all show they screen, but mouse does not work

I have installed all the packages I believe I need
This task depends upon

You should install the drivers you're using. The error log says you don't have the kbd driver installed, which is in xf86-input-keyboard.
