Running Ubuntu 9.10 Linux 2.6.32-22-generic I had a very similar problem . It started after I had been playing around with compizconfig settings, cant remember what I changed ,but afterwards the shift key on my keyboard did not work. I tried all of the things suggested here and the only way I could get it to work was by selecting Metacity window manager and turning off all visual effects. Anyhow I stumbled on the solution and here it is.. open CompizConfig Settings Manager in the left hand panel go to Preferences, under Profile & Backend tab hit reset to defaults Good luck it worked for me -- shift key no longer works after using dual monitoring https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/587987 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
