Bug#364288: Randomly loses input since X11R7 upgrade
Hello Tore,
I see the same problem on my mac mini using a self compiled X using usb
keyboard and usb mouse. My solution so far for it is pulling the usb
keyboard out and putting it after a second or so back in. After that my
usb keyboard starts working again. I know that my pointer works to, but
I didn't check the buttons. If you find anything further usefull please
let me know. Next time it hangs, I try if magic sysrq works for me, too.
(Nice trick with unrar and giving the kernel back the vt switching).
Btw. when I do this on a working Xserver I simply can switch back to vt
5 (this is where my Xserver runs) and it seems to switch keyboard back
to raw modus.
Thomas
