I was the one who also saw keyboard trouble on 2.6.22.1 without CFS by the
way -- and haven't (yet) seen any anymore since patching _in_ CFS v19.1...
Could the people who had or have keyboard problems try out Dmitry's
input locking patches, and see if those help: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/24/17
And if it does, report it to him, either there or here after CCing him.
I'm having trouble reproducing this at will -- it sounded as though Teresa
had less trouble at least originally. Teresa?

Same here, so testing is a pain. I was more thinking about running a patched
version for a day or longer and see if it happened or not. For me it happened
irregularly, but definitely a few times a day.

(It might help if people report what they're using. So, for what it's worth, I'm
using a PS/2 keyboard with xorg 1.2.0 with the "keyboard" driver.)

PS/2 keyboard, X.org 1.3.0 (version is at the top of /var/log/Xorg.0.log, or wherever your distribution puts that log), and this xkb config (in /etc/X11/xorg.conf):

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Keyboard0"
        Driver          "kbd"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
        Option          "XkbVariant"    "euro"
        Option          "XkbOptions"    "compose:rctrl"
EndSection

(you can forget that XkbVariant -- it's not yet in most distributions).

Problem as observed here consists of a sporadically stuck delete key in Thunderbird 2.0.0.5, using kernel 2.6.22.1 vanilla -- not yet observed using 2.6.22.1-cfs-v19.1
