Bug#364932: Workaround

["Jeff Lessem" <7xouy2f02@sneakemail.com>]

I had the same problem on my computer.  After upgrading from 6.9.x to
7.0.x pressing any key on the keyboard caused the resolution to change.
If it matters, this install of Debian is ancient, going back probably to
Hamm or Bo, but has been running unstable for many years.  A different
computer that started as Sarge/Etch and is now unstable upgraded with no
issues.

I worked around the problem by renaming /etc/X11/xkb/compat and
/usr/share/X11/xkb/compat.  My keyboard now works perfectly, probably
because in the log I get:

	(WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

and to stdout/stderr:

	The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
	> Error:            Can't find file "complete" for compat include
	>                   Exiting
	>                   Abandoning compatibility map "default"
	Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

So I suspect by renaming the compat directories I have merely caused
xkbcomp to fail, which avoids the problem.

Hopefully this is a useful work around until the real source of the
problem can be found.
