nVidia's Linux drivers are far from perfect. I've been in the same situation myself. Reboot was the only thing to do, as I am unable to bring back the keyboard "live" to the Linux mahcine which, otherwise, is completely functional and responsive. I've detected that sometimes, CPU goes up to the roof (99%, in K6-2-400 with nVidia TNT2-32MB), keyboard gets... "detached" form X... and console, only the mouse is responsive (from local console)... and nomatter what I do, I cannot bring back the keyboard to life. Either you use the non-accelerated driver (wich is slow) or just be ready to reboot your machine when this sittaution happens. Of course, I'm less than happy with nVidia's drivers. BTW, I was told that "older" nVidia drivers do not show this bug.
