Yeah, happens here too, every now and again.  I boot straight into xdm,
so it might have something to do with X, but any attempts to type in the
username generate garbage.   I can't switch to a text console, because
Ctrl-Alt-Fx keys don't work either - all I can do is push the Big Red
Button.  The graphics card in my laptop is Chips & Technology 65555.
