Keyboard doesn't works on XFCE (but it works!)?
Before I formatted my notebook, the onboard keyboard worked perfectly on Debian 8 with Gnome 3. Now, after installing Debian 9 with a minimal XFCE, it doesn't work anymore, except on CLI.
I can't even change to TTY because no keys work, except in recovery mode.
Here are some files that I collected about the keyboard settings:
/etc/default/keyboard:
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="br"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""
BACKSPACE="guess"
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input:
mouse_drv.so synaptics_drv.so void_drv.so
I have installed the package xserver-xorg-input-kbd during the install, but decided remove it thinking that it was the problem. In both cases the keyboard doesn't work on XFCE.
And no, I don't use any session manager. I just automated the process of login through the systemd and the .profile.
Edit: I installed the package xserver-xorg-input-libinput and the keyboard started to work on XFCE. Case closed. =)

Lets try to eliminate hardware failure first. Have you verified if any other keyboard would work? Or that your current Keyboard works with other systems?

So to clarify the keyboard worked in GNOME but now does not work when you installed a new OS with XFCE? What do you mean it only works in CLI? Also what do you mean by minimal? You most likely are missing the correct packages/drivers.

I have edited the comment. Check it. The core of XFCE is something like this. And about the CLI: the keyboard works on console mode. Just this. I make all the minimal install on console using the keyboard.

Just to make it clear what the answer is:
I was having a similar issue, and I also installed the package xserver-xorg-input-libinput as suggested and the keyboard started to work again.
