Bug#633343: Lost keyboard - workaround found --> calling udevadm trigger



Hello,
I tried to understand X and udev interact and at which step something
went wrong. Along the way I read
/usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/README.Debian
and issued 

udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=input --action=change

No further change was done/necessary.

And now keyboard works under X. I put this in /etc/rc.local and voila,
even after a reboot the keyboard works. 

Could that be because I have EFI (AFAIK) and not a traditional BIOS? 

I'm still willing to help finding the cause, if you want. E.g.
checking if that still happens if I connect the keyboard to USB
instead of the keyboard plug etc., trying patches ...

It would be a pitty if other users would have to investigate again for
this (well, they probably read the bug logs, so they can reduce their
time investement).

Just to remind you: *new hardware*, *well tested* and *default
install*

Greetings

             Helge
