Make sure /var is 755 and /var/tmp is 6666.

$ ls -lahd /var
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 512 2004-10-12 11:24 /var

$ ls -lahd /var/tmp
drw-rw-rw- 3 root root 80 2004-10-11 12:44 /var/tmp

Also make sure your driver for the keyboard in your X config file is set
correctly. For xorg it's "kbd", for xfree86 I believe it's "Keyboard".
