Hi,
Since a few days I regularly have troubles with my keyboard under Trinity: it doesn't work anymore after some time, except for a few combinations like ctrl-alt-suppr, ctrl-alt-f1, and the leds are still responding (num & caps lock, etc.) but *I cannot type texte anymore*.
I can still switch to tty1 and use my keyboard normally in there. Since the mouse is responding normally under X, I can also launch a new X session (via the "T menu") and experience that the keyboard is working well on the kdm-trinity login screen. So this really looks like a Trinity issue or, at least, a Trinity x-session related issue.
I use Debian squeeze and Trinity on a laptop and an usb keyboard. Note that: - the laptop sometimes has heat problems and the "X screen" gone crazy, I think becasue the video chip is too hot (often the case on laptops... and that's a shame). But, I'll be surprised if this keyboard issue is linked to hardware issue because the keyboard is working everywhere else, - the behavior is exactly the same on the laptop's built-in keyboard, - plugging out/in the keayboard has no effect, - plugging in another keayboard has no effect.
I don't know what to do with that. I found nothing related in the main log files. Maybe this is a race hardware issue...
Any advice or tracing tricks would be appreciated. Thank you for reading.
Nicolas
xserver-xorg-input-evdev is installed?

Once again, could you please explain more about why you ask about this package?
I feel blindly driven (and for sure this is not what I'm looking for).

An important detail is that I'm playing a lot with qemu nowadays. Maybe something is wrong with qemu. But for sure, when I lost my keyboard, it is not attached to qemu.

OK, thank you!
This seems to be related to kvm I'm using these days, but unfortunately, my german skills are so limited that they are close to zero.
I will try to investigate on the base of command lines & conf in your link.
