Package: xserver-xorg-input-all Version: 1:7.3+18 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
After a dist-upgrade of my Debian testing system to the bleeding edge a few days ago I had a problem after rebooting my system: - On the kdm logon screen I noticed a weird behaviour of my keyboard, I was not able to log in. - I switched to the console. On the console the keyboard behaved correctly. - I activated the automatic login feature in kdm and rebootet the system. - The system rebooted and directly logged into my KDE session. The system looked as before. - When typing on the keyboard, I noticed that every other key a new window opened, or another command executed. - I then noticed, that there is a pattern to this behaviour. - After starting xev and pressing the letter "g" two times I received this log: KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001, root 0x88, subw 0x0, time 180149, (474,128), root:(475,171), state 0x0, keycode 42 (keysym 0x67, g), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (67) "g" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (67) "g" XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001, root 0x88, subw 0x0, time 180493, (474,128), root:(475,171), state 0x5, keycode 42 (keysym 0x47, G), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (07) "" XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001, root 0x88, subw 0x0, time 180859, (474,128), root:(475,171), state 0x5, keycode 42 (keysym 0x47, G), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (07) "" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (07) "" XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001, root 0x88, subw 0x0, time 181154, (474,128), root:(475,171), state 0x5, keycode 42 (keysym 0x47, G), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (07) "" XFilterEvent returns: False - Interestingly, although I pressed "g" twice, only the first event reflects that choice. The other events look as if I pressed control key. - Another strange fact is that I do have no repeating key functionality on the system anymore. If I want to write "ggg" I have to press the letter "g" three times (or actually six times for every second time I trigger a command, like new window, duplicate window, bookmark...) - The xorg.conf file did not change since quite some time. So I am very sure that the configuration is (still) OK. - I suspect there is something wrong with X since the console is OK, KDE shows no sign of a wrong configuration and xev is reproducing the error in the log. This is an important bug since I can't use the system anymore (which makes bug reporting difficult) and I suspect others are affected as well. Sorry if I submitted this report multiple times, but I did not get a submission report the last time... -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xserver-xorg-input-all depends on: ii xserver-xorg-input- 1:2.0.8-1 X.Org X server -- evdev input driv ii xserver-xorg-input- 1:1.3.1-1 X.Org X server -- keyboard input d ii xserver-xorg-input- 1:1.3.0-1 X.Org X server -- mouse input driv ii xserver-xorg-input- 0.14.7~git20070706-3 Synaptics TouchPad driver for X.Or ii xserver-xorg-input- 0.7.9.3-2 X.Org X server -- Wacom input driv xserver-xorg-input-all recommends no packages. xserver-xorg-input-all suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
