[NTLUG:Discuss] Dead Keyboard

[lee]

How would one reset a keyboard that's dead?

I added three "Modes" entries to my XF86Config file and restarted X.  I
switched to the first other resolution and it worked fine, but with the next
CTL-ALT-(+) keypress the monitor went blank and the keyboard doesn't respond
to any keypresses.  Caps Lock and Num Lock do not activate the LEDs.  I have
remote access and want to reset the keyboard without rebooting.  I killed the
X related processes and it had no effect.  Is it possible to reset a machine's
dead keyboard remotely without rebooting?

Thanks,
