Package: xserver-xorg-input-kbd Version: 1:1.0.1.3-2 Severity: important The keyboard stops working after a certain amount of time. (~twice a week) When this happens I can still use the mouse, but no matter where I move the focus nothing of what I type shows. Neither ctrl-alt-F1, ctrl-alt-backspace,... nothing works. In kde I used switch user->start new session to start a new x server. There everything works fine. If I switch back to the old X server the keyboard doesn't work anymore (I have to use the mouse to switch back).
I never had this problem before with xorg < 7.0 This problem started to appear after the upgrade to xorg 7. I have found no way to reproduce it in a predictable way (except waiting for it to happen). I am locking/unlocking my workstation frequently (kde->lock session), but I've never had problems with the keyboard before. Also the keyboard lockup doesn't occur right after unlocking the workstation.(it might happen a few hours later). What can I do to debug this situation the next time it happens? Is there any command I can run (on the other X, or "with the mouse") to somehow reset the keyboard in X? I also found this in :0's logs, they don't appear in :1's logs: SetGrabKeysState - disabled SetGrabKeysState - enabled (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1280x1024" (II) Configured Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded SetClientVersion: 0 9 SetGrabKeysState - disabled Keyboard type (from Xorg.0.log): (**) Option "CoreKeyboard" (**) Generic Keyboard: Core Keyboard (**) Option "Protocol" "standard" (**) Generic Keyboard: Protocol: standard (**) Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" (**) Option "XkbRules" "xorg" (**) Generic Keyboard: XkbRules: "xorg" (**) Option "XkbModel" "pc104" (**) Generic Keyboard: XkbModel: "pc104" (**) Option "XkbLayout" "us" (**) Generic Keyboard: XkbLayout: "us" (**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off" (**) Generic Keyboard: CustomKeycodes disabled (**) Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" I know enabled AllowDeactivateGrabs to see if that can save the X session next time. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-rc6-geb35cf60-dirty Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages xserver-xorg-input-kbd depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries xserver-xorg-input-kbd recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
