    I have problems with "no keyboard" since Kernel 2.6.9.
    I am not using a -mm tree and booting with "psmouse.rate=40" does
    _not_ fix the problem :-( (tested with 2.6.9 and 2.6.10-rc1).

    As soon as X is started I have no keyboard.
    My box is a Acer Travelmate 290 notebook with synaptics/alps
    touchpad.

    Juergen.
