I seem to be experiencing this as well.

Are there synaptics settings in /etc/xorg.conf in both cases,
before and after adding the ClickFinger option? There are
currently problems connected to using both xorg.conf and the
fdi configuration in

/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi.

It would be good to be able to isolate the cause a bit further.
In case both xorg.conf and 11-x11-synaptics.fdi were present
in the test, I can recommend temporarily removing the fdi file
and restarting hal, then redo the test.

Thanks,
Henrik

I moved the fdi file and still got the hardlock.

The output of lsusb would be of interest, to determine the exact keyboard model.

Please confirm that the problem is still there after the big update to intrepid of today.
