Keyboard locked


I must have accidently pressed some combination on my keyboard- Etch does not accept any inputs from it. It is definitely not a hardware Problem, as it also does not work via VNC.

At the moment the screensaver is running and the session is locked. I noticed, that it does react to c (cancel the session unlocking dialog), s (switch user) and u (unlock, where he put out the password is incorecct, which I cannot enter..)

How can I unlock the keyboard again?

Thank you in advance,

Since a power outage an hour ago, it works again. How good, that I don't have UPSs everywhere.

does ctrl+alt+f1 work? (switch to CLI/terminal)
does ctrl+alt+bksp work? (kill X server)
