installs (well only the enter and space keys work).

3. <tab> key doesn't work or if using a mouse 'entering password' doesn't work
  
Actual results:

Additional info:

keyboard works find until anaconda starts.

Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2006-07-28 17:21:03 UTC
rhpxl accidentally dropped its call to the passed in xStartedCB, so anaconda's
special window manager was not getting run.  This is known to cause
keyboard-related problems.  Will be fixed in the next build.
