Every few seconds tvtime simulates pressing Shift_L(for blocking screensaver, as I know). This xev output with running tvtime: KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001, root 0x110, subw 0x0, time 3747425, (194,510), root:(1222,535), state 0x10, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001, root 0x110, subw 0x0, time 3747425, (194,510), root:(1222,535), state 0x11, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False Now(after some updates X-server) this action is to switch layouts in US, although the switch is actually configured to CapsLock.

Aside of the fact, that ru layout doesn't have winkeys variant, do you have any fancy .Xmodmap ? Add 'setxkbmap -print', settings of all input.keys type devices using evdev driver straight from the deamon and check if whatever desktop environment you're using isn't overriding hal settings.
>setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete+ledcaps(group_lock)" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+ru(winkeys):2+inet(evdev)+capslock(grouplock)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; };
And what about the rest ?
(In reply to comment #3) ru layout is have winkeys variant: "cat /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ru |grep winkeys" I have not modified .Xmodmap or other configs, except hal/fdi. Previously, there were no problems in kde3 and kde4, something happened after the upgrade xkb or another package. I missed the point, exactly when it happened. In the evening I'll check on the bare X + xterm + tvtime, to ensure that de/wm has nothing to do with it.
Did you notice 'partial default alphanumeric_keys' one line above ? It means that the default for this layout. What about settings straight from the deamon ? See hal/evdev sticky on the forum.
This problem not only for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4058200 http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=237994 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=369202
So, in a way it's not a bug - that is if you'd disregard the part where layout toggle happens not on CapsLock, but one of Shift/Ctrl combinations. Is there anything interesting about that in xorg log ? And what about those settings from hal ? This may simply a misconfiguration of your desktop environment.
(In reply to comment #7) Problem not only with layout. When I press the left shift key sometimes shift gets locked. I tried to start only X, xterm and tvtime - the same effect. At xine same behavior. This my HAL settings: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">mouse</merge> <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name" string="Linux"> <!-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to mouse otherwise). --> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge> </match> </match> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">keyboard</merge> <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name" string="Linux"> <!-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to keyboard otherwise). --> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge> </match> <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us,ru</merge> <merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">grp:caps_toggle</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> This xorg log: http://pastebin.org/105625
Fabulous, though two 'minor' things: 1. don't use pastebins for bugzilla posts 2. fdi file != hald content (it may differ significantly, if i.e. fdi file is malformed or there's an other file, that overrides this one) See hal/evdev sticky on the forum on how to get the info. This file could use a bit of trimming too. Also, are you sure it's not a hardware failure (like, keys getting stuck) ?

Rafał Mużyło, 1. check your "~/.xine/config" for gui.screensaver_timeout string - default 10 sec 2. turn any video playback with xine 3. in another window, do something with the lshift key 4. when matched pressing the lshift and anti-screensaver polling, shift will locked for the next 10 seconds is your system reproduce this?
