At the login screen you could use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go to the console and
log in, not through GDM/KDM. Then you can check the logs and see if it
works once you log in. You could also change the boot to non-graphical
mode or even single user. The advantage to logging in via
non-graphical, is that ones you log in and see that the keyboard does or
does not work, you can go 'startx' and see if it works that way. If
not, it is X, otherwise it could be KDM/GDM and that login.
Just ideas.
