Code:
I'm working on a dev-release of Raspbian

    lsb_release -rd
        Description:    Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie)
        Release:        8.0

    uname -a
        Linux rpi-test.lan 3.18.7+ #757 PREEMPT Sat Feb 21 14:21:44 GMT 2015 armv6l GNU/Linux

I've built/installed Kodi 15/alpha for it

    /usr/local/kodi/bin/kodi -v
        15.0-ALPHA1 Git:2015-02-22-b69ccc8-dirty Media Center Kodi
        Copyright (C) 2005-2013 Team Kodi - http://kodi.tv

kodi currently starts with my init script

    /etc/init.d/kodi start

and launches OK.

Problem is, atm, keyboard function.

I have a Logitech K400R wireless keyboard installed on the RPi.

The keyboard is recognized & is fully functional at the RPi's console/shell.

But, once I launch KODI, no keystrokes are recognized -- I can't navigate/use menus at all.

When I exit kodi at this point, I no longer have keyboard function at shell.  Once I reboot, it's back.

I've clearly NOT hooked something up.  I'm not sure if this is a kodi &/or raspbian config issue.

Any help getting this keyboard working would be appreciated!
