[SOLVED] keyboard X

I've got a weird error, or maybe not. My ctrl key does not work in X, computer has been off for a couple of days and I updated. Now my ctrl-key doesn't work. In X ctrl doesn't work in any application, outside X it seems to work in every application except screen.

It's only left-ctrl that doesn't work, right ctrl does work!

SOLVED: Ctrl-key was stuck physically on the keyboard, heh.
