[hardy] [evdev with X Input hotplug] changes keymap to greek regularly

[Mikael Nilsson]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

As reported in bug #173833, I started using XInput hotplug by following the advice there:
"You can test it by copying /usr/share/doc/hal/examples/10-x11-input.fdi to /etc/hal/fdi/policy."

I'm reporting this bug in the hope that this can eventually be enabled by default.

I have a swedish keyboard. On login, it is set to US layout. This was expected. I use "setxkbmap se" to set it right.

However, after using it for a while, it suddenly and unexpectedly switches to greek.

I reset using setxkbmap (Up-arrow in terminal...!), and again it works for a while.

I get a lot of the following in .xsession-errors:

![1199892060,000,xklavier_evt_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_process_x_event/] ATTENTION! Currently cached group 1 is not equal to the current group from the event: 0

I have a logitech slim keyboard and a logitech MX revolution with a few buttons reported as keyboard buttons, both USB.

You need to use the evdev keyboard model. Check that you are, it can be seen from the gnome keyboard settings.

Should be fixed in Intrepid.
