I can't seem to be able to reproduce the actual keyboard breakage any more with XKBLAYOUT="SKIP". Perhaps something in Lucid changed to make X/GNOME/etc. more robust against invalid models. But anyway, let's fix it properly.
I confirmed that if XBKMODEL is not specified at all, X.org assumes "evdev", which is very sensible. So /lib/udev/rules.d/64-xorg-xkb.rules should be fixed to unset a value of "SKIP". ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu Lucid) => xorg- server (Ubuntu Lucid) -- keyboard input broken due to invalid "SKIP" keyboard model https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
