Not absolutely sure this is the same thing, but on console (-vo fbdev 
w/tdfxfb) playing a file (rm rencoded to mpeg4 by mencoder) seek and lockup. 
Computer was up (ssh in via Zaurus), and what it appeard to do was lock the 
keyboard.

Does anyone know a magic way to get linux to look for/at the keyboard again?

Have used the console before, but not had it crash, so don't know if this is 
typical when it does crash.
