Hi Alexander,
What's the version of your desktop system? I have met this problem before . When I updated my system , it is gone. I am using KDE 4.4.5, with xserver-xorg 1.2.2+ , and xorg.conf is not needed.

Comment 5 Alexander Lindqvist 2012-02-29 14:38:54 UTC
All default packages from EL6.2
Xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.10.4-6.el6_2.1 (x86_64)
Gnome 2.28.2

I have googled this and found many distributions which had this problem before. Fedora 10 among others but as EL6 is based on Fedora 12 this is probably a new issue. And this laptop is brand new.

Comment 6 Alexander Lindqvist 2012-03-05 18:46:54 UTC
Closing the lid on the laptop so it goes into standby mode makes the mouse and keyboard work again for a new period of time when the computer wakes up.

Any ideas of logs to look for, kernel parameters to try or anything else?

Comment 7 Alexander Lindqvist 2012-03-07 08:20:30 UTC
Cant this be som variant of a synaptics clickpad and that the driver currently takes the keyboard down with it? My touchpad has real buttons at the bottom and the left upper corner of the touchpad is used for doubletapping to disable the touchpad (with a led that lights up when disabled).

Double finger scrolling works.

Here is a recent patch:

Comment 10 Alexander Lindqvist 2012-04-04 13:56:30 UTC
This was a hardware problem. Please close.

Comment 11 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-03 05:40:00 UTC
Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
