** Description changed: Since upgrading to precise my (PS/2) keyboard just stops working after a while. This is fatal and all I can do is log out of the desktop session (or reboot) to get it working again. This happens every day or two, when I am typing - usually when scrolling back through xterm output. (shift page-up/page-down) Some investigation has revealed: hotplugging the keyboard doesn't change anything - nor does it produce any output in dmesg or /var/log/Xorg.0.log I can ssh in and the system is working fine. My mouse still works fine. plugging in a USB keyboard works fine and allows me to do some debugging: switching to console (ctrl-alt-F1) shows that the PS/2 keyboard is working fine in console mode, so it's only bust in X. Running xev shows only this when I hit a key on the dead keyboard: MappingNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0, - request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 248 + request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 248 no keypress events. My /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf fies are attached. Relevant info is: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" - # generated from default - Identifier "Keyboard0" - Driver "kbd" - Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps" + # generated from default + Identifier "Keyboard0" + Driver "kbd" + Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps" EndSection in log file: [ 32.547] (WW) Hotplugging is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled.

So they are arriving at this level, but the X input device seems to be ignoring them $dpkg --get-selections | grep xserver x11-xserver-utils install xserver-common install xserver-xorg install xserver-xorg-core install xserver-xorg-input-all install xserver-xorg-input-evdev install xserver-xorg-input-mouse install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics install xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse install xserver-xorg-input-wacom install xserver-xorg-video-fbdev install xserver-xorg-video-intel deinstall xserver-xorg-video-nouveau install xserver-xorg-video-openchrome deinstall xserver-xorg-video-radeon deinstall xserver-xorg-video-vmware install So I not really sure how this works but it lokos to me that the kernel- level evdev stuff is working fine. X ignores the xorg.conf 'kbd' config (possibly because xserver-xorg-input-kbd is not installed? but then evdev picks up the device and it works fine for a while, but for some reason evdev starts ignoring that input device.
