Bug#462441: xserver-xorg: alt key gets stuck



Hi,

I'm running debian etch and I sometimes have similar problem. But
it's not alt-key stuck, its "all modifier keys stop working":
alt,shift,ctrl etc. Even ctrl-alt-F1 to switch to text console is not
working.

In such conditions I can only recover my X only if I have xterm on
current desktop. Then I can type this command:

  setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout pl -rules xorg

and suddenly everything works again.

If I can't find any xterm on my current desktop to issue this command
I have to ssh remotely and kill X.
