I've experienced this problem occasionally, though not on my T23.  It
usually occurred when I switched from a text console to X on my desktop
machine.  It could be fixed by sshing into the machine and issuing 'sudo
chvt 1'.  After I removed gpm these freezes nearly disappeared.

An interesting symptom was that the interrupt counters for keyboard and
PS/2 mouse in /proc/interrupts would stop increasing during such a
freeze.

Do you use gpm?

Writing setattr hooks properly is a black art. Writing persistent
setattr hooks is more like hearding bees blindfolded...
