Ok... more sleep and less computers... I guess. I ran out of space in /-partition when emerging wine. I had to move the /var/tmp directory to another place and do a mount --bind. When doing that I guess I screwed up the file permissions in /var/tmp. When X started it gave an error about not being able to write something in /var/tmp. It was some xkeycompiler or something. I already lost the log. When giving write permission to the world the keyboard started working fine.
Now the question is that what are the correct permissions in /var/tmp directory?
$ ls -la /var/tmp total 44 drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 4096 2003-10-03 11:08 .
What does the t in the end mean?
The 't' refers to the 'sticky' bit. This means that only root or the owner of a particular file can delete files within that directory.
