Keyboard non-functional in X-Windows

Folks,

I've been trying to work out what is going on here with no success.

Basically, since I've switched to using kernel 2.6 the keyboard (PS2)
stops functioning in X windows. It functions in the shell, and if I
kill X and restart sometimes it comes back.

When I press a key everything freezes for a couple of seconds but no
key appears.

Does anyone have any ideas what is going on?
