If you shut down X (kill its procs) and restart it, do you get the keyboard
back?
My understanding of X is that it takes over keyboard functions when it is
running.
I doubt that it is a kernel problem...

Subject: [SLUG] Keyboard Lockup in X
Hey SLUGgers,
Small problem - my keyboard has completely cut out. There's no response from
the keyboard at all, even to the point of Caps Lock not changing state.
I'm using a so-far-so-good 2.4.0-test8 kernel (no troubles in the past), and
XFree4. However, for the keyboard to be as dead as this, I'm pretty sure
it's a kernel problem.
Is there some kind of kernel-level keyboard reset command? I'm avoiding
rebooting, as there's a few things I'm working on which need some keyboard
input! And yes, I'm ssh'ing from another machine right now. 8)
