Keyboard lock with USB mouse and XFree86

[Matthew Gibbins]

 Hi,
  I seem to have encountered an odd problem. I finally plugged a USB
  mouse into my box and it works great. It even works with gpm. 
  However, whenever I start X the keyboard locks up though the mouse is
  fine.
  Has anybody else encountered a similar problem with USB mouse/PS2
  keyboard?
  
  Thanks,
  
  Matt.
