That sounds like a different problem. There's subtle differences. With this one, we get full input lock, but mouse still moves, and X can still be killed with ctrl-alt-backspace. That exact symptom has only appeared in the last few days/week. The other one listed there is a hard lock requiring hardware reset. They could be related... I don't know. Both are difficult to debug. Until something convincingly links them I'd keep them separate otherwise we'll be making it impossible to debug.
