Bug#442316: xserver-xorg-input-evdev: Broken as of Today

[Marc Fargas <marc@marcfargas.com>]

Package: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
Version: 1:2.0.99.3-1
Severity: normal

Hi,
I upgraded some packages yesterday, ones of whom was
xserver-xorg-input-evdev. Now, since I rebooted, my keyboard in
screwed much like the first message in this bug describes.

The language is OK. I can write without problems, but the Windows key
doesn't work. Arrows act as "Enter" or even one of those acts as a
"Print Screen" (my /tmp is now full of screenshots!) "Alt Gr" doesn't
work also.

I'd say my keyboard had always worked fine. I've always used evdev (I
think), the relevant xorg.conf part:

    Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
    EndSection

Any easy way to fix this in the meantime? I doubt my configuration is
"rare" so maybe when this goes to unstable you'll see more affected
prople ;)

Anyway, thanks for your work with those packages, I've been told X.Org
is a beast to maintain ;o

Regards,
    Marc
