Hi, this happens to me sometimes too. I found out, that I just have to switch to console, restart HAL daemon and it works again, so I'd say it could be problem in Xserver, but I'm really not sure about it.

Could be a problem with the evdev driver that freaks out on your keyboard. Restarting hal generates a load of new hotplug events for Xorg, so your keyboard gets removed from Xorg and hotplugged again, after which it is reinitialized. Is the keyboard you use PS2 or USB?
Actually, it's a laptop.

Usually it's PS/2 then. This can be anything actually. evdev driver problem, ACPI problem with your laptop, kernel bug, etc.

I had a simila(?) problem: suddenly special keys (page up etc.) stopped to work, in KDE. Solved selecting "Evdev managed keyboard" (or what's the translation in English) in the control panel -> System settings -> Locals (?) -> keyboard mapping. Hope this helps, though not sure! bye!
