too long. Problem got worse, and after (finally) getting a good (?)
yum update, and installing the GIMP, inkscape, libreoffice, and some
others, a reboot and no keyboard response at all. Not even switching
to a virtual screen.
I can ssh in and systemctl isolate multi-user.target and get a
console
and the keyboard works just fine in the console, so it's an X11
issue.
Found an old thread for F17 where reloading the evdev stuff and
generating a new config (xorg -configure, I think) fixed a problem
with no keyboard/mouse, and I tried reloading xorg-x11-drv-evdev and
runing xorg -configure and got a segfault or something similar and no
new configuration file. (No xorg.conf to start with, FWIW.)
This sounds like the problem being tracked by this thread:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816764
The problem appears to be related to a combination of XFWM and GDM. If
that's what you have, depressing the Shift key for 20 seconds should
re-enable the keyboard.
I use XFWM and GDM and haven't experienced it on my systems. One is
using the i915 graphics driver, one is using the radeon driver and two
are using the nvidia binary blob via kmod.
