Hi, I'm running debian etch and I sometimes have similar problem. But it's not alt-key stuck, its "all modifier keys stop working": alt,shift,ctrl etc. Even ctrl-alt-F1 to switch to text console is not working.
In such conditions I can only recover my X only if I have xterm on current desktop. Then I can type this command: setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout pl -rules xorg and suddenly everything works again. If I can't find any xterm on my current desktop to issue this command I have to ssh remotely and kill X. -- # Janek Kozicki -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
