Keyboard Error,

I'm somewhat new to KDE so pardon me if I'm asking a stupid question, my cat walked on my keyboard and pressed a combination of random buttons and now my keyboard stopped working as soon as i login to my account on (Fedora Core 7) KDE, on the login screen I can type and input information and i can also input text in GNOME (which is what I'm doing right now) Does anyone have a clue as to how i can reverse this, *Rebooting doesn't help*

A somewhat brutal way is to log in via Gnome, then using a Terminal (e.g. xterm) an moving your kde-directory ($HOME/.kde) to something else (e.g. "mv $HOME/.kde $HOME/kde-backup). After that you log out and log into KDE.

With this method you loose all your settings etc. in KDE, but at least you get your keyboard. But, because you only moved your prior KDE-directory you may get your settings via the Terminal again. At least it's the fastest method for your problem
