I'm using a PS/2 mouse at work and a mousesystems serial mouse at home, but I have those keyboard lockups at both places ! The mouse and keyboard are still hanging while the machine's still working, I can rlogin from other machines and kill X etc. But the keyboard never comes back, I never get any console until I reboot. I've read in the buglist that the keyboard hang ist still there. Funny: I have these problems since 2.2.1, in 2.1.7 there were no problems. I believe my keyboard hangs only when the load gets too high. It never hung while I'm doin' nothin'. It only hung up when I really kick the machine to boost every bit out of it.
