Lose keyboard and mouse input after tablet rotate

[Andruk]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

After I rotate my tablet screen (eg: the actual screen, not using xsetwacom) and put it back, the built-in keyboard and pointing stick on my HP 2710p go completely dead. My stylus tablet input still works perfectly, as does a bluetooth mouse.

Ctrl+Alt+Fx does not work, and the only workaround I have been able to produce thus far is bringing the stylus into detectable range and then bringing it out again over and over, and eventually the keyboard and mouse get unstuck (weird, I know). This workaround only happens sometimes, and more recently I have simply needed to restart my laptop to get keyboard and mouse input working.

If it helps any, sometimes my laptop boots - no screen rotation - and I have the same problem, my workaround does not work in this case, and I am forced to simply restart using my stylus.

Using:
Ubuntu 9.10 fully updated as of this date
Repos: main, universe, restricted, multiverse

I am more than willing to give more information upon request.

I'm not entirely sure why this got reported to xserver-xorg-video-intel....

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

This might be a kernel bug, but I'll file to -wacom for now.

It got filed against -intel because the refiler tried to automatically guess based on the info available, but guessed wrong.

According to this post, it might be a Compiz issue. I've turned Compiz off, and I'll update this report if that seems to fix it. Either way it's still a bug, even if it's in Compiz.

moving to evdev, since the stylus works.

Hi Andruk,

This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you

Lucid, please run the following command to refresh the report:

If you are not the original reporter, please file a new bug report, so
we can work with you as the original reporter instead (you can reference

I can confirm that this bug still affects Lucid and is still very aggravating.
