Keyboard Stops Responding

This has happened twice so far.  My keyboard has completely stopped
responding, with no warning.  I've been able to recover both times by
restarting KDE.  The first time I restarted the whole computer.

Just now, I managed to get xev started (not so easy without typing) and
even it didn't detect any of my keystrokes.  Yet, this time I only
logging out and was able to log in (by typing) right away.

Can anyone speculate what might cause this?  It doesn't seem hardware
related, but more likely low-level software.  I am using a Dell Inspiron
E1505 with the built-in keyboard on Kubunty Edgy.

Thanks,

Matt Flaschen
