Last night I experienced something I have never seen before.Sitting in KDE, I noticed that my keyboard had changed. Any character pressed resulted in its control equivalent, so an A or a was ^A, etc. Thinking that this was very bizarre, I went to the first console via ctrl-alt-F1 and things were fine. Switching back to X/KDE, things were OK, too. It hasn't happened since. I wonder if I had a momentary hardware glitch? Has anyone seen this before? This is a W500 Thinkpad running amd64-current last compiled Jan 8th with a package set from December 28th.
I'm guessing your ctrl key was stuck. I too have a W500 and have had the problem. It is not obvious when a key is stuck. Ray
