Bug#364932: Workaround Re: xorg: My keyboard no longer works after upgrading

[Noel Maddy <noel@zhtwn.com>]

Same situation for me here, but interestingly it's only one user's
account that has this problem. Unfortunately, it's the one account that
I really need to use X on.

I got it to work again by commenting out the -VMode/+VMode sections of
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/pc (as below). Of course, this disables
resolution changes, but I never use that anyway...

// -VMode switches to the previous video mode
//  key <KPSU> {
//      type="CTRL+ALT",
//      symbols[Group1]= [ KP_Subtract,	XF86_Prev_VMode ]
//  };

    key  <KP7> {	[  KP_Home,	KP_7	]	};
    key  <KP8> {	[  KP_Up,	KP_8	]	};
    key  <KP9> {	[  KP_Prior,	KP_9	]	};

// +VMode switches to the next video mode
//  key <KPAD> {
//      type="CTRL+ALT",
//      symbols[Group1]= [ KP_Add,	XF86_Next_VMode ]
//  };

The more people you rule over, the less an individual matters.
