Recent upgrade killed my laptop keyboard

I'm running an ACER 342T under potato. I just did a dist-upgrade with 
ximian and debian in my sources path. Aftward, when the machine came up 
in gnome my keyboard was useless. I couldn't even use ctrl-alt-f2 to get 
a console. Has anyone else had this problem?
