Hey y'all, my keyboard is crashing my stdin and I can't figure out how to stop it.

dilla:
104 key active response kbd from IBM
slack 8 (2.2.19), kde2 (only happens about 20 minutes into a X session)
AKAIK X is configured correctly
syslog sez : pc_keyb: controller jammed (0x35)

I can telent in across the LAN and do stuff, so the OS isn't jamming.
Is it possible to RESTART the keyboard without rebooting??

Google turned up two messages for that error:

From the second message:

Based on the status and the fact that the self test bit is set, I'd
venture that the kbd lost power momentarily.

I didn't see a fix mentioned, but that's some more info at least...

Good luck with this.
