I confirm also that this seems to be happening only when you are in X for the first time since booting the PC: after the above problems, I quit the session, gdm restarts, I can type the password with the netbook keyboard, then if I switch to VT and then back to X, the same keyboard now works like a charm, and Xorg.0.log now displays these lines instead of those above:
(--) 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. (II) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Device reopened after 1 attempts. (II) Macintosh mouse button emulation: Device reopened after 1 attempts. (II) Logitech Optical USB Mouse: Device reopened after 1 attempts. As you can see, now there's no "device key_bitmask has changed" and "Device has changed - disabling." Hope this helps whomever the bug will be assigned to. -- 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
