I confirm this on Karmic, Dell XPS M1330. It was constantly happening to me on Jaunty too up until the latest updates (I did not report the bug then because I was running kernel from mainline-ppa). I have found a workaroud: switchkerboard to raw mode with magic sysrq key in order to switch to console, login, restart hal, switch back to X and put keyboard back into normal mode with "kbd_mode -s"
Unfortunately, this workaround no longer helps on fresh Karmic install with the latest updates. There is another similar bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/327175 which is marked as fixed. -- 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
