Bug#452121: xserver-xorg: keyboard stops working
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.3+6
Severity: important
The keyboard sometimes stops working in the middle of an X session. It
happened twice today already on my LG i386 laptop. I think I have
observed this on my other laptop as well (which runs amd64).
The X session simply stops responding to any keyboard events -
pressing keys, trying to switch sessions with Alt-Ctrl-F1,
Alt-Ctrl-Backspace etc. However the mouse still works. To unblock it I
have to log out, at which point the keyboard starts working again in
the KDM login dialog.
Merely switching to another X session (using the mouse) does not help
- the keyboard works in the other session but is still stuck after
switching back to the original session.
I have KDE 3.5.8 and kernel 2.6.24-rc2. Any ideas how to debug this,
or where the bug report belongs?
