    Help!!!

    Purchased my One today, all I've done is install some apps including kde and started kde once. When I rebooted my keyboard stopped working! It's not a hardware problem, since caps lock key still lights up and an external usb keyboard makes no difference. Screen brightness control also work. It boots just as it should and the original window manager starts, mouse works, can start programs with mouse etc. but the keyboard doesn't work.

    What can I do?

    PS I've done the stuff specified in this thread, could that be the cause?

    If I do press CTRL+ALT+F2 nothing happens but if I press CTRL+ALT+F1 the screen flashes black for a second and returns.

    EDIT: Solved
    Don't know what caused it, but I tried pressing all the buttons I could imagine during boot, suddenly the keyboard started working again... Removed all the changes I did in the thread linked to above...
