Keyboard problem on first login

Hi,

since some time (~2 month) I suffer from a strange problem. After 
starting my box I can not type any text into kdm and thus not log in.
I have to select "Console login" from kdm and restart kdm manually from 
the console, and then it eventually accepts my typing. My keyboard is 
not the problem, I checked with another.

I noticed that always after having this problem I can find some strange 
characters on tty2, as if the password I try to type into kdm ends at 
tty2.

My debian is fully updated, and IIRC the problem came after an X-update.

Does anybody have an idea where this is coming from?

Best regards,
Yves
