My Desktop is a Dell Dimension XPS Generation 2. I had lost track of this post here, and forgot to update it with new info about the problem. I am now running Edgy, and still occasionally run into the keyboard locking up every once in a while, however, it seems much less frequent lately (or maybe that's just the luck of the draw and I'll end up getting it more later to make up for it... :P )
Anyway, I have found that when the keyboard locks up, I am able to unplug the PS/2 from the keyboard jack in the back, and then plug it back in to the Mouse PS/2 jack (I use a USB mouse, so that jack is free). After this, the keyboard functions fine! I think it must be some sort of weird race condition where the PS/2 ports get switched inputs for some reason randomly. When I reboot and the ports are back to normal, I must unplug the keyboard and put it back into the port meant for it, so that it will work again. -- PCI USB controller causes keyboard to randomly lock up https://launchpad.net/bugs/46475 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
