I did try unplugging the keyboard and mouse, and plugging them back in. I did find out that hal was not running, so I started it, unplugged the keyboard and mouse again and plugged them back in to no avail. However, I noticed that even though hal is now running, not all of the same services are running on this system as on a similar system still at 5.7.
