Linux?

Beh, gwil. Enlightenment would be sweet if I could get my mouse and keyboard working together at the same time. Other than that, it is quite teh sexeh.

I'm still working out the whole "keyboard not wanting to work in X but only sometimes since my computer hates me" bit.

If anyone has any ideas, heres the problem:

I initially installed just the debian base system, with no extra jazz. Then, I installed X, and went through the bog-standard setup screenies and everything seemed spiffy. Installed Enlightenment next, and loaded it up- only to not have a keyboard. Spaztastic. I then installed KDE over the top of it to see if it would even register in there- it did. I was moderately happy. But, KDE does that lame thing where it boots into X, more specifically into KDE's crappy little graphical login thing. Whenever that comes up, my keyboard doesn't work. If I click on "Console Login," I can type in a username and pass, and do a startx through that. When I do that, I have a keyboard.

Any ideas?
