[Bug 577183] [NEW] keyboard and/or mouse freezing

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Ubuntu 10.04
This bug does not occur all of the time and it makes it usually appears at the GNOME login screen.
Sometimes at the login screen, when I click on my username, the keyboard will freeze and I will not be able to input anything through the keyboard, or the first or second letter that I type will endlessly repeat itself as though I have my finger on the keyboard.  In other instances, when I click on my username and start entering my password, the mouse will freeze.

Other times, the keyboard or mouse will freeze after I have logged in.
Sometimes the system will have operated fine for over an hour and then
suddenly the mouse no longer responds or the keyboard freezes or starts
repeating a keystroke.  If I have already logged in, sometimes BOTH the
mouse and keyboard will freeze so that I can't do anything other than
hit the reset button.

My mouse is plugged into a USB port, but using an adapter to plug it
into the PS/2 plug does not rectify the problem.

The problem appears to repeat consistently if my Epson CX8400 printer is
turned on at start-up.  It is plugged into a USB port.  I have noticed
that if I turn the printer on after logging in, Ubuntu will not detect
the printer, but leaving it on while starting up simply leads to
freezing.

I am using an Asus P4S800 motherboard.

Mouse and keyboard freezing at login occurred consistently (almost every
login attempt) prior to changing from the default display manager to the
NVIDIA display manager.

Keyboard freezing does not occur in GRUB.
If I start Ubuntu 10.04 in recovery mode and use "gdm" to get to the login screen, freezing does not appear.
