ubun2

I upgraded on 21Aug2010 from 8.04 lts to 10.04 lts and incountered
same problem with mouse and keyboard. Upgrade goes smoothly and
can login but after a few minutes the mouse and keyboard become
unresponsive. I tried both an usb and ps2 mouse. Keyboard is ps2.
The system is still running. I can connect to the machine from an other
on the network and transfer files. There are some post at ubuntu regarding
this problem going back a couple of years. There have been solutions
proposed of altering the xorg config file and deleting packages and going
back to older packages. This is not the way to run a manstream operating system.
I solved problem by reinstalling 8.04 which has run rock solid since its installation.
I hope it's supported long enough for ubuntu to straighten out 10.04.
Running a plain box with intel E5300 cpu and intel chipset.
