If I instead boot into runlevel 3, the keyboard is fine until I do "init 5", at which point the problem reoccurs. If I go down to runlevel 3 from runlevel 5 (by typing "init 3" at the serial console) the keyboard is still locked up - even ctrl+alt+del does not work. (NOTE: I cannot see any virtual terminals because of an X.org virtual terminal restore corruption bug - but virtual terminal _input_ usually works after X has corruptly restored a virtual terminal: it's just the output that's corrupted. Therefore I believe the continuing keyboard lockup here is due to this bug, not due to the X.org bug.) I managed to workaround this bug one time by randomly banging on the keyboard :-) - but this workaround is not reproducable. Robin, Does it work better with recent kernel/Xorg? Thanks. Closing the bug. Please reopen if confirmed with latest kernel. |
