Subject: 2.5.40-ac4 Starting X kills mouse & keyboard

ASUS P4S533 (SiS645DX chipset)
P4 2Ghz
1G PC2700 RAM
nvidia GeForce2 GTS (using XFree86 "nv" driver)
ps/2 style keyboard & mouse

Mandrake 9.0
XFree86 Version 4.2.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)

Boot to console. Login. Run console apps with no problem.
startx
Keyboard numlock led goes off
mouse pointer appears - doesn't respond to mouse movement
keyboard unresponsive
X loads apps specified in .xinitrc

Can't do anything without a mouse or keyboard except power off.
Works fine for other kernels.
