Keyboard Hangs on Samsung R60plus

Note to self: Next time the keyboard and touch pad on your Samsung Notebook crashes, try hitting both Fn and the Homepage button simultaneous. Seems to work at least in console mode, I still have to verify it from inside X and KDE. Seems there is some bug in that keyboard controller or the notebooks BIOS that prevents it from waking up from some ACPI mode or another. Still investigating. If indeed this works I hope there can something be done about it in the kernel's atkbd.c...
