Guys..got a little issue with xorg and the evdev driver in Gnome. I have a Logitech keyboard (standard 105 US layout + multimedia keys with function lock). This issue has been reported several times as evidence shown by Google.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22up+arrow+key%22+Gnome+Screenshot&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq= Here is a real good description of the problem: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/c66e6796ba566fb/e87f86440b3f8905?lnk=gst&q=442316#e87f86440b3f8905 Note that I haven't tested yet, but my tentative suggestion is that we move forward with evdev-2.1.0 and the 4 patches listed for xorg server in the release announcement for evdev (after testing). http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-announce/2008-November/000693.html As a side effect, this will remove the Allow Empty Input workaround added to the xorg config page, however, it is not Xorg-7.4 proper. The alternative is to roll back to an old evdev driver, but this does not fix the event grabbing issue in xorg-server-1.5.3 for which the previous workaround was added. Comments? Suggestions?
