I confirm this too, though I'm gentoo user. Hope this info will be of some use: Samsung 900X4c, kernel 3.11.6, xf86-input-evdev-2.8.2, xf86-input-synaptics-1.7.1 Behaviour: Internal keyboard and touchpad freeze after random period of use, external (usb) keyboard and mouse work fine. I suppose problem lays deeper than evdev (touchpad uses synaptics). I'm not sure, but it looks like internal kbd and touchpad use ps/2 interface.

I started with a clean install of 11.04, had the problem form the beginning and it persisted when I upgraded to 11.10. I use a desktop PC and my keyboard is a plain PS2 type. My mouse that is USB never freezes. I made a script on my desktop so I can run it to collect some log files when the problem occurred. Sure enough, I caught some errors but I have no idea how to fix this. I'm not really an advanced linux user, so I attach these logs in the hope that some of you might help me out.
