Sometimes system halts keyboard input

Hello,

I have one problem for a while and today it made me crazy.

The problem is the following: I'm using my Arch and suddenly computer beeps and then I find that I cannot write any letter - my keyboard is halted. Also XFCE desktop meniu doesn't appear (other programs menius are working fine). Then I have to restart my Xorg server (with keyboard shortcut - ctrl+alt+backspace) and everything become normal.

It makes me crazy, because of Xorg restart, all downloads are interrupted, chat sessions restarted, programming sessions interrupted...

I always run these programs: Xorg, XFCE, aMule, nicotine, X-Chat, VyQchat,  Gaim,  XMMS, GKrellM. Also I use bluefish often, but it doesn't make any sence, I think.

Which program may cause this problem? Maybe somebody had this problem?

Re: Sometimes system halts keyboard input

Anything interesting in the /var/log/kernel or Xorg.0.log files? Do you have a USB keyboard? Since when do you have this problem, and what changed just before that? (See also pacman log) Which kernel are you using?

Re: Sometimes system halts keyboard input

kernel.log aprox at the same time when there was been last halt:

May 19 19:23:54 localhost agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.
May 19 19:23:54 localhost agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 4x mode

May 19 19:23:54 localhost agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:02:00.0 into 4x mode

In Xorg log there was nothing unusual.

No, my keybaord isn't USB. Well, this problem appeard quite long way ago so I don't remember any changes before that (or even date).

I'm using 2.6.11.7 kernel
