 My problem is with keyboard input sometimes. It occurs untill machine reboot or just going from gnome to -> terminal (ttyX) and back to -> gnome. Problem is solved for gnome session, I can do everything like normal, but it persists in terminals (ttyXs). I am even unable to login via tty! (see attached screenshot)
 Now finally to core of the problem. From nothing my keyboard input just goes crazy and I am unable to write text at all. Everything I can do is "send orders" like t = win_key+t (^t signal), so I can start my terminal ONLY by pressing T button. (although my default is win_key + t) All I send from keyboard is ^s ^[s ^[k etc.. 
I am using 9.04 2.6.28-13-generic i686 (upgraded from gutsy -> hardy -> intrepid -> jaunty)
My default keyboard layout is USA. 
What should I do?
Thank you for answers.
