Oh. that'd explain it then. I'm suprised you don't get duplicate key events
though.

anyway. If AEI is off in the server, the server defaults to the xorg rules
file (which is the one for the "kbd" driver).
you still have AutoAddDevices on, so the device you actually see are the
ones added by through HAL with the evdev driver. evdev has different
keycodes than kbd, leading to the up/screenshot issue.

if you remove the AEI option (or enable it, the default), the server
defaults to the evdev ruleset (expecting devices to be added) and the
problem is gone. Note that while you're at it, remove the keyboard section
from your xorg.conf, it'll be ignored once AEI is on anyway.

tbh, I can't even think of a scenario where AEI should be off but
AutoAddDevices should be on. The reason why we see this configuration is
that some (pre-released) X servers required it to get the evdev keycode
issues sorted out. So please tell your friends that AEI off is not your
friend at all.

I have the AllowEmptyInput but not the AutoAddDevices.

Section "ServerFlags"
Option  "AllowEmptyInput"   "false"
EndSection

The two option were what I was told to put in there and it was working
on the previous version with the patch.

I had the same annoyance for a while on startup. If you're running Compiz
just reload the window manager. No problems lately with Gnome 2.26.1,
Xserver 1.6.99+, and Compiz 0.8.2.

I have this same problem, but *only* when running inside an Xnest.

I'm running xorg-server 1.6.1.901. I have no xorg.conf. I have xf86-input-evdev 
installed, and no x-i-mouse or x-i-keyboard.

The only strange thing I'm doing is using the colemak keyboard layout in my 
main 
server, but not in the nested server. I haven't tried qwerty to see if it 
changes anything.

I don't think the kbd driver supports these two options.

There's some combination of configurations that's screwing up.
this output indicates that you're using the evdev ruleset. Do you have
AutoAddDevices or AllowEmptyInput off? otherwise the kbd section will just
be ignored anyway.

1.6 had a fix for this merged upstream, so you shouldn't need a patch.  Do
you have xkeyboard-config 1.5? Do you have rules "xfree86" or "base" in use?
what's the output of setxkbmap -print?

up-arrow key not working again.

[Robin Cook]

I upgraded xorg-server to 1.6.1 and now the up-arrow key is not working
the way it is supposed to.  When I hit it in gnome it causes the
screenshot applet to pop up. 

I had this problem before and someone pointed me to a patch for the
previous xorg-server (1.5 I think) but I tried applying the patch and it
applies but the compile fails.

Is there another patch that fixes this again?

Thanks
