Yes, gpmdata is a mouse device! I've been going round in circles on this problem and missed it. The SaX utility in
openSUSE generated the xorg.conf and put in 2 device lines - /dev/gpmdata and /dev/input/mice and with my brain
only half in gear I was looking at the first as keyboard since the second is mouse.
 I'm sure the keyboard isn't using it as there's no sign of it in /dev, and I've tried a very minimal xorg.conf with no
specific devices or options so that the xserver configures on the fly, all with the same result. It just seems that whatever
goes in xorg.conf makes  no difference, which is why I wonder if it's a kde4 conflict.
