Comment 29 for bug 435235

Thank you. So the kernel clearly sees a new mouse and keyboard, and assigns input devices for both of them. hal even picks it up and creates a keyboard device for you:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1d6b_1_0000_00_1d_1_if1_logicaldev_input_0'
[...]
  info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.keys', 'input.mouse', 'button'} (string list)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event11' (string)
  input.product = 'USBPS2' (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'evdev' (string)
  input.xkb.layout = 'us' (string)
  input.xkb.model = 'pc104' (string)
  input.xkb.options = 'lv3:ralt_switch,compose:menu' (string)
  input.xkb.rules = 'base' (string)
[...]

so I wonder why it does not work under X (which still uses hal). After plugging in the keyboard, can you please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? For my USB keyboard, it looks like

(II) config/hal: Adding input device HID 05f3:0007
(**) HID 05f3:0007: always reports core events
(**) HID 05f3:0007: Device: "/dev/input/event8"
(II) HID 05f3:0007: Found keys
(II) HID 05f3:0007: Configuring as keyboard
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "HID 05f3:0007" (type: KEYBOARD)
(**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
(**) Option "xkb_model" "pc105"
(**) Option "xkb_layout" "us"

so I wonder how it looks for your's. It should at least see _something_, since it's in hal.

For the udev side, this is indeed a bit poor:

UDEV [1255524718.339876] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb7/7-1/7-1:1.0/input/input12/event10 (input)
UDEV_LOG=3
ACTION=add
DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb7/7-1/7-1:1.0/input/input12/event10
SUBSYSTEM=input
DEVNAME=input/event10
SEQNUM=4318
MAJOR=13
MINOR=74
DEVLINKS=/dev/char/13:74

It should have ID_USB_*, and ID_CLASS=kbd, etc. It seems that it didn't even run usb_id on that one.

Can you please run

  udevadm monitor

then plug in the keyboard, annd watch out for an "add" event which looks like
"/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb7/7-1/7-1:1.0/input/input12/event10", i. e. ends in "inputXX/eventYY". Then please copy&paste the output of

  udevadm test /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb7/7-1/7-1:1.0/input/input12/event10

(with the path that you just determined).

Thanks!
