Title:
  keyboard input broken due to invalid keyboard variant set by VMWare
  installer

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in xorg-server source package in Lucid:
  Fix Released
Status in xorg-server source package in Maverick:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Problem]
  /etc/default/console-setup has an invalid XKBMODEL="SKIP" and/or 
XKBLAYOUT="U.S. English"

  [Workaround]
  For affected machines, run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

  [Impact]
  Due to console-setup using invalid keyboard model and layout identifiers on 
certain (common) hardware, this can break the keyboard functionality in certain 
circumstances.  For example, the vmware installer copies these invalid values 
and propagates them in a way that causes them to become the X defaults, thus 
confusing X and leaving the keyboard improperly set up.

  [Development]
  The fix has been committed to the main ubuntu-x git branch, which will be 
used once Maverick Meerkat is open for development, thus this fix will 
automatically copy over into it.

  [Patch]
  The xkb rules are modified to simply ignore the invalid values 
XKBMODEL="SKIP" and XKBLAYOUT="U.S. English" and use the default -evdev 
settings.

  [Test Case]
  1. Set XKBMODEL="SKIP" and/or XKBLAYOUT="U.S. English" in 
/etc/default/console-setup.
  2. Install vmware
  3. Reboot.  When login box appears, verify password can be typed in properly

  [Regression Potential]
  Negligible.  These days there are hardly any systems which aren't going to 
work fine with the default evdev settings, and anyway those cases would neither 
work with "SKIP" or "U.S. English" either.

  
  [Original Report]
  VMWare Player 3.0.1 build-227600
  Host OS: Windows XP
  Guest OS: Ubuntu 10.04 Beta, Kernel 2.6.32-17-generic

  After installing a slew of Ubuntu updates on 3/26/2010 keyboard input
  at the gnome login prompt no longer works.  The mouse does work and I
  am able to use the 'on-screen keyboard' accessibility tool to input my
  password and gain entry.  After logging in, there does not seem to be
  any problems using the keyboard, I experience the problem only at the
  gnome login screen.

  I suspected that after updating that possibly some of the vmware
  drivers may not be working correctly, so I ran vmware-config-tools.pl
  to recompile the tools, which didn't work.  I've tried a couple of
  cycles of rebooting the VM and restarting vmware player, which hasn't
  resolved the problem either.

  I've attached the portion of the apt history.log showing the packages
  that were applied during the update.
