On a text console worked without problems. The KDM worked without problems, but after logging into their profile did not work. Probably not comforted you - it was something in the profile. Although Trinity 3.5.12 used for more than a year, suddenly "something" happened and keyboard just did not work. When I put away the profile and started with the new, the keyboard works. Gradually, I put back to profile important settings (kmail, kopete, bookmarks,...) and keyboard still works. Unfortunately, I did not go into such detail, and so I not find causes. Note: Under LXDE TDE programs can not run, because TDE is not set in the system PATH. TDE into PATH usually adds startkde. Try: export PATH=/opt/trinity/bin:$PATH export KDEDIR=/opt/trinity export KDEHOME=$HOME/.trinity ...and then run TDE programs. Slavek --
