I can't see anything out of the ordinary in the log files. The only thing I can think of that is remotely similar is X.Org bug 12186 [1], but it's probably not it either. Have you resolved this issue yet? Does the mouse work? Does VT switching work? [1] http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12186
Figured it out: Somehow the accessibility feature "slow keys" was turned on without me knowing. I'm surprised that neither KDE nor Gnome have a notification that the accessibility features are turned on. That would've saved me a lot of time and frustration.
resolving as NOTABUG, caused by misconfiguration.
That's acutally not a bad idea. When we have to have accessibility on per default (and I understand why), couldn't we have per default also some applet showing that it is on?
we have an a11y statusicon nowadays (in F10)
