I just got a Tyan Tiger K7 and experienced a similar problem. The keyboard locked up when gpm started, but it came back after I stopped gpm (by logging in remotely). I discovered in my BIOS that the mouse was configured to "Automatic". Changing it to "Enabled" fixed my problem.
I suggest checking your BIOS for anything related to the mouse. It could be occurring because the interrupt is not getting assigned for the mouse by the BIOS, or something to that effect. That is what my thoughts are on this problem. After seeing reports of the interrupt counts in /proc/interrupts not being updated while the mouse (/dev/psaux) is opened, it made me think that it could be an IRQ problem. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
