: has anybody experienced a temporary loss of keyboard on a laptop?
: i did. this is my story (sorry dick wolf).

Yes.  Some pccards run at high SPL levels in their probe/attach
routines that give the appearance of a hang.  The an driver, to pick
on one, does this.

: yesterday night while i had been trying to beat my own score of 
: xpuzzletama on my dell i5000e, the keyboard suddenly stopped 
: working.

That's odd.

: after fiddling w/ windows, i closed the computer & waited for next

: freebsd again, system behaved as if there were no problems... fsck run
: not withstanding.

Now that's strange...
