I've been having such problems since approx. 2.6.5-rc2 (anyway, the release in 
which the Prism54 driver appeared for the first time ;-)) on a Satellite 
1400-103.  However, I've found recently that it's sufficient to press the 
left SHIFT after a lockup to "release" the keyboard.  There may be some other 
specific key or a combination of keys that helps on other Toshiba models, I 
guess.

Yours,
