** Description changed:

  I did a dist-upgrade using update-manager -d, everything went well until I 
rebooted and got to the new GDM login window.
  That's when my mouse and keyboard froze. I can't move my mouse nor can I 
switch to a terminal - it's like it's physically unplugged. I tried both USB 
and PS/2 interfaces with no luck and I have to physically power off my box by 
pressing the off button for 5+ secs.
  
  I rebooted into a Recovery console and purged GDM and installed KDM -
  but still proved unsuccessful since mouse and keyboard remained frozen.
  I did the same thing by install installing SLIM but bug still won't let
  me do anything.
  
  This might be an Xorg bug since I've already tried gdm, kdm, and slim. I
  can't attach crash logs, etc since my workstation remains unresponsive.
  I can access the logs via recovery console, but I don't think I'll be
  able to attach them here via Links.

  WORKAROUND for PS/2
- in /etc/rc.locall add:
+ in /etc/rc.local add:
  
  rmmod psmouse
  modprobe psmouse proto=imps
