Bug#372509: xserver-xorg-input-kbd: Keyboard does not work properly for second X server
Package: xserver-xorg-input-kbd
Version: 1:1.0.1.3-2
Severity: important
When launching a second X server (e.g. using "startx -- :1"), for the
second X Server the keyboard behaves badly. Pressing arbitary keys
results in the resolution to be switched around (like what usually
happens with Ctrl + Alt + "+/-"). No characters are printed.
Everything works fine for the first X server.
I have a "Microsoft Natural keyboard pro" connected through USB.
The keyboard section of my xorg.conf file is:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "kbd"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbModel" "microsoftpro"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
EndSection
[..]
Section "ServerLayout"
[..]
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
No other keyboard is available.
Xorg.1.log reads normal:
(II) LoadModule: "kbd"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/kbd_drv.so
(II) Module kbd: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 1.0.1
Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 0.5
A diff between the log of the first (good) and the second (bad) X server
does not show anything odd.
Things used to work with earlier releases. I think things broke during a
recent update, but I might be wrong. It might have appened already
during an earlier one.
Best regards
Ben
