I just want to make sure that you really experience the problem which is
described in this bug - from reading your previous comments I was not
completely sure about that, as your experience sounds a little bit different
from others (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Fx not working, too and keys working with delay).
Are you sure you are not experiencing the "slow keys" problem as described here
(http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/strange-keyboard-problem-522956/):

---------------- snip
It sounds like you've invoked the "slow keys" "accessibility" option. The
pop-up window is displayed when you hold a (non-repeating) key down for "too
long," and asks you if you want to use "slow keys." E.g., holding down the
shift key for a ten seconds without typing anything.

If you're using KDE, bring up the "Control Center," got to the "Regional &
Accessibility" section, then look in the "Accessibility" subsection to change
it.

If you're using GNOME, look under System -> Preferences -> Accessibility ->
Keyboard to change the setting.
