Screen flickering and keyboard freezing problem

Hello and happy NY to all of you!

Recently I updated my arch and after I log on today I have problems with keyboard. The icon which represents some multimedial function (rewind or something)
appears on random basis and flickers like if I was pressing that key on keyboard. The "desktlet" which appears is the "prohibited" sign which appears and blocks
my keyboard. This happens randomly and continues even after reboot and removing Clementine which constanly turns on and off and changes songs on it's own,
obviously something is happening with those keys (rew or fwd) functions. I tried updating my whole system again, with no success: if it is bug, I won't be able
to use my system until the next update roll? What to do?

My DE is cinnamon.

Re: Screen flickering and keyboard freezing problem

I just did pacman -Syu > rebooted > now keyboard and mouse no longer work.
Also there a strange looking flash of video just when kde4 is starting up.
