Hi Julien, No worries. It took me a bit to realise I had to file my own bug as I've never done it before. Usually things can be fixed by a good online search.
Uninstalling mouseemu does allow the keyboard to work in X, but breaks my mouse emulation. As soon as I re-install it the keyboard fails again. So I think you're right. I guess it just remains to figure out where the fault (if any) lies. Does this require a new bug report, or can I extend this one to include mouseemu? Thanks so much already. If only one mouse button was really useful...
