[mythtv-users] keyboard dead in mythfrontend and mythtv-setup

I know I'm doing something weird, but maybe someone knows a fix.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB running Ubuntu 20.04 Server 64 bit (arm64) with
a minimal xserver-xorg and xfce4 with xinit. I built mythtv v31 from source
per the wiki using ansible for dependencies, and ./configure --prefix=/usr
--disable-vaapi --disable-vdpau --enable-opengl.

I used MikeB's pi-utils for setting up the rest of the backend components
including mariadb. I used pi-utils/run_mythsetup.sh to run from the console
mythtv-setup and on the main screen I can't select anything or move the
highlight choice.  It's like the keyboard is dead.  Same thing on
mythfrontend.

However, if I startx and open a terminal in xfce4, I can run mythtv-setup
and mythfrontend just fine.  Everything works fine.  I'm using opengl with
4 cpus  and the video quality is comparable to raspbian 32 bit OS at the
command line.

I keep thinking that running from console like I do on normal v31 install
of mythtv-light would be the best picture, but can't test it until I fix
the lost keyboard function.

Any ideas?
