[Bug 450499] Re: Random keyboard (and mouse) lock-ups

[jonathanparris]

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help with this. I recently(tonight) formatted my hard drive and re-installed Lucid from a live cd and still have the same problem. Mouse and keyboard lockup with no way to fix except hard reboot. After wireless mouse locks up I can plug a USB mouse in and get some time with it until it locks up as well...then its time to reboot. 
Thanks

Subject: [Bug 450499] Re: Random keyboard (and mouse) lock-ups

Thanks for the additional information. I am marking this confirmed, it
is present in both Xubuntu 9.10 and Lucid. I have experienced keyboard
lockups in lucid, but only in the terminal and thunar. Opening a new
session of the locked application allows me to continue. Since my mouse
does not freeze, I simply close the frozen keyboard application.
Unfortunately, at those times, gdb also freezes and I have been unable
to obtain a backtrace.

Status in “xfwm4” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xfce4

Description:    Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release:    9.10

Computer: Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi

Problem description: Occasionally keyboard (and sometimes mouse) locks
up. This happens for example when switching to a virtual console from
the graphical interface. Usually even ctrl-alt-sysreq (plus r-s-u-b)
doesn't work, requiring power switch -reboot. The same lock-up may occur
while the machine is idle.

Unfortunately I don't have much of means to figure out, what component
causes this - my best guess is the window manager.
