Subject: keyboard under X with 2.6.31

My keyboard (ABNT2 PS/2) seems to be broken under X with 
2.6.31.2. After less than an hour, it starts acting crazy. The 
first time, all leds turned off and I couldn't type anything. 
The second time, all leds also turned off, but since it happened 
while I was pressing the Backspace key to delete text, it 
continued deleting, like if the key was pressed.

In both cases, the mouse (USB) still works and I can exit X, 
where the keyboard works. There's nothing in the logs.

No problem with 2.6.30.9. Is it supposed to be a kernel or X bug 
?
