Subject: 2.6.34-rc3++ looses PS2 keyboard eventually in xterms

Hi,

after switching to 2.6.34-rc3 with follow ups added up to 5e11611a (e.g. 
including the tty fix), I still suffer from "loosing" my PS2 keyboard 
eventually during work in xterms (which I do use a lot). Everything else, 
ssh'ing from remotes, mouse operations, even mouse clicks into xterms is 
still functional, e.g. I'm able to quit htop by clicking on F10. Just every 
direct keyboard input is lost, without a trace in syslog, as well as 
Alt-SysReq sequences. echo r > /proc/sysrq-trigger doesn't show any effects 
either. AFAICT, it doesn't happen with older kernels (2.6.33.2/2.6.27.y). 

OS/Hardware:
openSUSE 11.1/i586, KDE3, ASUS P7P55-WS, Xeon X3460, 4 GB.

Any hint on how to debug such an issue is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Pete
