I experienced similar problems with my new DELL XPS m1210 Notebook and edgy (Knot 3). However in my case not even the "CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE" resp. "CTRL-ALT-N" keystroke works. Some times the keyboard starts working again after some minutes but in the majority of cases it will not resume work.
Additionally there is a similar problem with the mouse. The pointer still works and can be moved around, windows can be selected but menus and buttons do not work you can click them and you also see the visual feedback of the click but no action is carried out. I found no information in the log files of the X-server but I am trying to gather more information. -- Random keyboard failure in X https://launchpad.net/bugs/58884 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
