Comment 323 for bug 124406

As I mentioned earlier, this was on the agenda for the xserver wishlist bugs session at UDS, and was discussed yesterday. From reviewing the current status of the bug here and upstream, there seems to be a legitimate issue in general, however the general fix for this (e.g. Ajax's branch) are not things we would want to risk pulling in as a backport, nor something of high enough importance for the ubuntu x team to invest time into, so for these reasons we're closing the issue as a wontfix at this time.

However, we are concerned about the cases where specific hardware is significantly broken (as several have described in recent comments). But these issues are difficult to analyze and work on within the context of this particular bug report. For users with issues that need deeper investigation, please file a NEW bug using this command:

  $ ubuntu-bug xorg

It would be helpful if you can reference bug 124406, and include the word 'keyboard' in the title so it gets autofiled predictably.
