** Description changed: - Suddenly my keyboard and mouse stopped working. I wasn't doing anything - special (firefox + vinagre opened). This happened at least twice to me - in the past 2 weeks. + My keyboard and mouse often stop working. It usual happens when I am + typing something. This happens _very_ often (happens to me ca once per + hour). - Keyboard was completely unresponsive (CAPS, NUMLOCK not working). + Steps: + 1. type as usual - I could see that the machine was still running, so I ssh'd into it and - fixed the problem my forcing a keyboard driver reload. - I reused the following program: + What happens + Keyboard becomes completely unresponsive (CAPS, NUMLOCK not working). Last key/key combination typed gets repeated (appears many times on xterm or editor, etc...) + + Expected: + Keyboard keeps functionning properly. + + Known work-around(s): + The machine is still running properly and I usualy have 2 solutions to solve the issue: + * perform a suspend/resume cycle (note: I use the following default kernel options in grub # defoptions=quiet splash acpi_sleep=s3_bios i8042.nomux i8042.reset ). This of course tends to break my network + * ssh into the box and force a keyboard driver reload using: $ cat local/bin/fixmouseaftersuspend echo -n "i8042" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i8042/unbind echo -n "i8042" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i8042/bind - which I use to reenable the mouse after a resume from suspend.
