I've read that fc17 is end of life but maybe someone has run into this. I'm running fc17, latest upgrades, using XFCE, and periodically the keyboard just stops working, mouse is fine. I end up having to mouse over ALL of my open windows saving and closing. Once I logoff and logon everything works normally. I've checked the Xorg log, messages, dmesg, everything I can think of but its sill happening. I even tried turning off the screen saver but that didn't help either. It happens inconsistently which makes it even more annoying :)
Not sure there's a single answer given the possible moving parts involved. If nobody can think of anything off the top of their head could someone suggest a good way to try and debug? I'll be upgrading here eventually but right now the timing is not optimal.
TIA - Tod
