Loosing the keyboard

[Geoffrey Leach]

Thanks to all who replied, especially the snark.

I'm replying this way because mailings from the list have been 
disabled. Excessive bounces, they say.

the system in question is a laptop, so there's only one kbd, and its 
not USB.

The problem is that for no apparent reason typing on the kbd does not 
produce and input to, say, gnome-terminal. This happens with any app 
that accepts kbd input. It does not apply to the mouse.

Logout-login (via GDM) cures the problem, until the next time, so the 
kbd is not broken.

Pointers to bugzilla and fedora forum are much appreciated. I'll try 
the workarounds suggested.
