Bug#378965: linux-image-2.6.17-1-686: IBM A30 keyboard stops working in X, 2.6.16 is OK

[Chip Salzenberg <chip@pobox.com>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.17-1-686
Version: 2.6.17-4
Severity: important


I've been using the 2.6.16 without incident on my IBM A30.  When I boot the
2.6.17-1-686 kernel, all seems all right ... AT FIRST.  But then at some
arbitrary point, perhaps an hour later, sometimes less, the keyboard stops
being effective under X.  When I ask to start a new X session (using the
mouse only, natch), the keyboard works OK in that new session.

I'd normally think it's an X bug, but it -always- happens when I boot
2.6.17, while it -never- happens when I boot 2.6.16.
