I've had some problems with KDM and XFree86 on a box that would get moved from time to time and be re-equipped with a different type of mouse / keyboard. The mouse would work fine because of /dev/sysmouse but the keyboard change sent KDM into an error loop that init never detected and disabled. Required a single-user boot to fix! It could probably be compensated for by a change in X configurations, but a daemon could also introduce some nice flexibility in keyboard customization. -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus!
