[ubuntu-uk] Keyboard not being enabled in Jaunty

[Sean Miller]

Just fired up a Live CD and trying to look for clues as to why
keyboard and mouse aren't working in my nackered install of Jaunty.

To clarify we have what appears to be a successful boot to the login
prompts on the Ubuntu splash screen but neither mouse nor keyboard are
doing anything. hence the thing is unusable.

Where should I be looking for evidence of what I've done to "break"
the user input side of things?

Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc. don't work either, so the keyboard is definitely
disabled, rather than it being a specifically 'X' thing..
