After a day or so of running the shift key mysteriously stops working as does the cap lock. In other words I cannot enter shifted characters of any kind. The keyboard is connected to a KVM and all other systems respond to it properly. In additional any VMWare sessions I have open respond correctly. So I have the condition where all non-vmware applications in Ubuntu Hardy (all updates applied as of 2008-02-26 at 12:43 UTC) fail to recognize the shift key BUT applications within an active (a paused/restarted session also works) VMWare sessions running DO recognize the key.
When this condition occurs ALL applications (except those within a VMWare session) are also unstable and will usually crash within a few keystrokes.If I continue to operate in this mode. I cannot pinpoint what, if any, application triggers this. It has always happened while working within terminal/browser/vmware sessions and NOT when opening a new application. It could be related to the KVM switch, but none of my other systems (2 Mandriva, 1 Windows) are affected by this.
This bug has been present on my system for a number of days across daily updates and reboots (if the update requested it) and I think since I installed Hardy Alpha 1.
A work around: log off and back on. A reboot/restart does not appear to be needed.
Error logs show some unusual activity.

TEST CASE:
1. Click inside the VM and
2. Hold any of the Ctrl, Alt and/or shift keys while releasing the keyboard/mouse to the host OS (which you obviously do when you press Crtl-Alt to revert back to windowed mode, as the cursor is then released from the VM).
WORKAROUND:
After this happens to recover your keyboard execute 'setxkbmap' in a terminal |

boni635, no doing that would not speed up getting this bug fixed. What would speed things up is if people would follow the directions given by the bug triagers in comments #1, #46, and #97 provide the requested information. |
Sounding like this isn't an xorg bug really, but bumping it over to the keyboard bug queue so someone can review more carefully. |

[Problem]
VMWare's keyboard mapping is imperfect, sometimes resulting in certain keys stopping functionality when running under VMWare, requiring the user to setup their configuration settings manually in VMWare. For a detailed explanation see the following article:
http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_devices_keymap_linux_longer.html

As per comment #191, this isn't an xkeyboard-config bug, so canceling that task. |
