Need help: Lost keyboard after xorg upgrade

[Sergio Monteiro Basto]

Hi have you a package system-setup-keyboard ? 
system-setup-keyboard is a daemon that monitors /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
and writes out an xorg.conf.d snippet based on  this file’s contents

first you should have /etc/sysconfig/keyboard with something like: 
KEYTABLE="pt-latin1"
MODEL="pc105"
LAYOUT="pt"
KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"
