My problem might be related... eventually... no clue:

when hitting any of the 3 volume control keys (FN+F3, F4, F5) on my Fujitsu Amilo PI 2540, my keyboard completely freezes.

- these 3 keys are respectively labelled with mute, down and up
- the keycodes are well received (using showkey I get codes 113, 114 and 115)
- the gnome actions of mute, lower volume and increase volume are correctly mapped to the XF86AudioMute, XF86AudioLowerVolume and XF86AudioRaiseVolume codes (in control pannel > keyboard shortcuts).

When I hit any of these any further keystroke is ignored (in any app of current X session).
To unfreeze I need to switch to another console (CTRL+ALT+F4) and back to X server... where my keyboard is then back working.

Any hint or question: feel free!
