before i reboot can anyone think of any diagnostic steps i can take, for example is there something that will return the key presses from the keyboard.
Sounds like a broken keyboard to me, but you can run the program "xev" to return all the x events to see what is going on. Oh, and check the output of dmesg to see for any error messages there or do an /etc/init.d/gdm stop or try the command "chvt 1" to get to a console (probably, not tested) to get to a text console....
