When ever this happens, using the virtual keyboard (kvkbd) doesnt work either.

The keyboard used to work perfectly in 7.10

Clonezilla as usual came to my help.
Luckly I had backed up my HDD.

Media keys should work in Intrepid, and any further bugs about them should reported against guidance-power-manager if they occur in Intrepid.
