It seems to be caused by hitting more meta keys at once - Ctrl + Alt + Shift. The keyboard freezes completely - Nothing of the following works: Ctrl+Backspace Ctrl+Alt+Del Ctrl+Alt+Fx Sometimes it seems like Ctrl has stayed pressed and so the functionality of mouse is changed too. The only tthing I found on deja.com was a some similar problem under OpenBSD - kern/1115.
