for a while I suffered 'sudden keyboard death'. I was typing some stuff - and |
| 27 |
suddenly the keyboard was dead. When I switched to a vt, keyboard worked |
| 28 |
again (but not in X) and I had to restart X. I haven't seen this since 2.6.22 |
| 29 |
and a lot of X updates. But you might want to try that - use acpid to switch |
| 30 |
to a vt with the power button: |
| 31 |
cat /etc/acpi/events/default |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
event=.* |
| 34 |
action=chvt 2 |
