Nothing, as far as I can tell... I see you typing "qwerty"... Does the 
keyboard work in console (let's say if you boot in run level 3 to take X out 
of the picture)? Could you please try compiling evbug module - it will show if 
keyboard events are propagated through input core. Also, whta driver are you 
using in X? Legacy keyboard or evdev?
