You have been subscribed to a public bug: I can reproduce this: If i hold the LEFT-Cursor Key and press CTRL (LEFT+CTRL as in CTRL+c to copy) my Keyboard stops working. Mouse is still working.
"Meta-keyboard-commands" outside of X (e.g. CTRL+ALT+BACKSP or CTRL+ALT+F1...) are still effective, therefore i can restart X and log in again. So i think, this is somehow related to X. I haven't found anything interesting in .xsession-errors or /var/log/Xorg.0.log but i have attached them. I logged the output of xev while provocing the freeze: <code>KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00002, root 0x5b, subw 0x0, time 30918556, (71,-8), root:(149,88), state 0x2010, keycode 100 (keysym 0xff51, Left), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False FocusOut event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00002, mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor </code> I have tested several keyboards (HP SDL4000 PS2; Cherry RS 6000 USB) and the problem ist reproducable with all of them, so this is not related to a special keyboard- or connection-type.
