I have some more information * the problem persists in Ibex. I've upgraded some weeks ago and keep getting the issue every now and then * the problem seems to be X and kernel related.
Today I experienced the problem while running with a second screen (using Twinview) and keyboard/mouse (USB). The kaptop keyboard/mouse 'died' as usual, but the external keyboard still worked. That allows me to run my script to fix the laptop internal keyboard. Here's the information from Xorg.0.log before I ran my script: [...] (II) Video Bus: Device reopened after 10 attempts.
