Comment 19 for bug 216927

I have some more information

* the problem persists in Ibex. I've upgraded some weeks ago and keep getting the issue every now and then
* the problem seems to be X and kernel related.

Today I experienced the problem while running with a second screen (using Twinview) and keyboard/mouse (USB).

The kaptop keyboard/mouse 'died' as usual, but the external keyboard still worked. That allows me to run my script to fix the laptop internal keyboard.

Here's the information from Xorg.0.log before I ran my script:
