Keyboard malfunctioning after time
I have an issue. I am running the most current ArchLinux, GDM / Gnome for the desktop configuration. After a while of working away (using vmware, xchat, pidgin, firefox, amarok, etc), the control keys stop working. Ctrl, alt, shift, caps lock, etc, stop working.
After reboot everything works again.
Any thoughts?

Re: Keyboard malfunctioning after time
Are you using testing?
pacman roulette : pacman -S $(pacman -Slq | LANG=C sort -R | head -n $((RANDOM % 10)))
