Bug#483725: xserver-xorg-input-kbd: volume keys and altgr-combinations stopped working after upgrade

[Mihnea-Costin Grigore <mihnea@zulu.ro>]

Package: xserver-xorg-input-kbd
Version: 1:1.3.1-1
Severity: normal


After the latest upgrade to version 1.3.1 of this package, suddenly the volume buttons (up, down, mute) on my keyboard stopped working.
Also, the AltGr-<letter> combinations used for language-specific diacritics don't work either.
Everything used to work perfectly with the previous version (1.2.2)...

Below is the keyboard setting section from my xorg.conf
=====
Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier  "Keyboard1"
  Driver      "kbd"
  Option      "AutoRepeat"    "250 30"
  Option      "xkb_rules"       "xorg"
  Option      "xkb_layout"    "ro"
  Option      "xkb_variant" "comma"           # basic/comma
EndSection
=====

Nothin else changed on my system, except maybe the latest nvidia drivers I installed yesterday, but I don't think they have something to do with this...

Thank you,
Mihnea
