[ltp] Keyboard freezing in X

[Robert W March]

I am running RH7.1 on a TP600E type 2645-4AU.
Periodically, in the X display,  the keyboard freezes and is 
unrecoverable.  All that is left is mouse motion and the power 
button.

This happens whether the desktop is GNOME or KDE.

I upgraded XFree86 from 4.0 to 4.1.0 .  This did not clear the 
problem.  

Has any one else seen this behaviour and found a solution?

Here is the device section of my XF86Config:

**********************************************************************
