This happens to me too with Karmic on an Asus EeePC 1000H netbook : if I switch to VT (CTRL+ALT+F1) and then back to X (ALT+F7) then the netbook keyboard doesn't work anymore, unlike the USB keyboard which I also have. No problem with touchpad or USB mouse.
By the end of Xorg.0.log, after three switch-to-VT-then-back-to-X's, I found the attached lines. As you can see, there is always a series of "reopening" of the devices, but while all the others succeed, the builtin keyboard fails: (--) ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad: touchpad found (II) Asus EeePC extra buttons: Device reopened after 1 attempts. (II) Power Button: Device reopened after 1 attempts. (II) Video Bus: Device reopened after 1 attempts. (II) USB Keyboard: Device reopened after 1 attempts. (II) USB Keyboard: Device reopened after 1 attempts. (II) Sleep Button: Device reopened after 1 attempts. (II) Power Button: Device reopened after 1 attempts. (EE) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: device key_bitmask has changed (EE) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Device has changed - disabling. (II) Macintosh mouse button emulation: Device reopened after 1 attempts. (II) Logitech Optical USB Mouse: Device reopened after 1 attempts. ** Attachment added: "Final lines of Xorg.0.log after switching to VT and then back to X three times." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36798699/Xorg.0.log -- device key_bitmask has changed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437862 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
