Comment 15 for bug 55585

I'm on Kubuntu/Gutsy with a Feisty kernel, Inspiron 1521. I don't notice the exact same behavior, but sometimes my keyboard locks up completely. ctrl-alt-delete does nothing, nor caps lock, nor any key, nor keys typed in with the mouse using kvkbd. Unloading and reloading the i8042 module doesn't bring the keyboard back. The only way I can get new text to appear in any application is by copying and pasting characters already shown on the screen. The keyboard comes back completely after killing amarok.
