keyboard not working

[Harold L Hunt II]

Just a question for anybody that uses SFU --- Does SFU have an X Server? 
  I didn't think that it did... I thought it included some limited X 
stuff for command-line clients or perhaps to allow clients to be 
displayed on remote machines.  Does anyone know what SFU actually has? 
I want to make sure it hasn't gotten too far advanced while I was not 
looking :)
