Good job of filing an informative bug report :) Assigning to maintainers. My system here is running udev-128 and hal-0.5.11-r3 for the last two reboots, and it's been fine (all ~arch). My 10-x11-input.fdi is simpler than your use-multiple-layouts however, just evdev/latin with compose+meta options. I do see that your xorg.conf doesn't declare any mouse or synaptics section (they are both commented out). Did the problem happen when they were uncommented? Your .cfg0000_dev.conf isn't any use, it's identical to the udev.conf. First of all, let me re-cap that I haven't touched any configs, just plain upgrade broke things. Second, the xorg.conf was suggested by Jakub Moc to me half a years ago when the transition xorg-1.4 broke almost everywhere due to hal. It was crucial to leave the configuration unset in xorg.conf otherwise the keyboard mapping somehow did not work. It could be xorg-conf now doesn't work when the xorg.conf is almost empty, but it is weird that no [a-zA-Z0-9] buttons work. Why it actually interferes with udev-128 I don't know. (In reply to comment #9) > First of all, let me re-cap that I haven't touched any configs, just plain > upgrade broke things. HAL and udev are still moving targets. Configs are known to break from time to time. When you add Xorg/evdev to the mix, things can get pretty messy. > Second, the xorg.conf was suggested by Jakub Moc to me > half a years ago when the transition xorg-1.4 broke almost everywhere due to > hal. It was crucial to leave the configuration unset in xorg.conf otherwise the > keyboard mapping somehow did not work. One easy workaround is to tell Xorg never to listen to HAL. Or you can properly configure HAL... your pick. > It could be xorg-conf now doesn't work > when the xorg.conf is almost empty, but it is weird that no [a-zA-Z0-9] buttons > work. Why it actually interferes with udev-128 I don't know. Could you post /var/log/Xorg.0.log with both udev versions (or at least with 128)? Maybe the output of lshal too. Thanks Oh and it seems your HAL configuration files use a deprecated syntax. Please read this on how to upgrade them: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/config/x11-input.fdi Maybe that'll help? Thanks Created attachment 165883 [details]

Upgrading only udev to udev-128 leads to a working system. Cannot reproduce myself. :( Created attachment 165891 [details]
/var/log/Xorg.0.log (working under udev-128)
So after all I can conclude that I can get udev-128 running with xorg-server-1.5.0 and keyboard and mouse working. The only problem is that my multiple language keyboard layouts are possibly overridden by somehow mis-assigned "Video Bus" defined as KEYBOARD (obviously with us layout). Am puzzled why that happens. One note regarding the /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ files. Am not sure whether it was of any help to change "stringlist" to "string" in my case. It seemed to me "input.keys" can be found in the list of capabilities very often and so matching "input.keyboard" seemed better approach. Clues? Created attachment 166385 [details]

There's a way to tell in the FDI file that Xorg should not use this device in any case... I can't find how though... I'll search a little more when I get back. I have upgraded to xorg-server-1.5.2 and still face the same problem, probably still a configuration issue.

The Video BUS does not appear in Xorg.0.log anymore and in lshal I see some difference:

Removing the depend on bug #256579 because it turned to be unrelated to this issue. My post to the xorg@ mailing list got answered but I do suspect this is a bug in hal. Will attach working HAL policy file for czech keyboard. An excellent explanation of what was wrong is in http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg archive on Feb 23 2009 under thread name "[Bug 19947] xkbcomp-1.0.5: Group width mismatch between key and type". Basically, I messed up <merge> and <append>. Created attachment 183606 [details]
use-multiple-layouts.fdi
Working us/czech-qwerty layouts, switch between them using left alt + shift button. I only suspect that [shift]+twice pressing [=] on the US keyboard layout
followed by pressing [u] should probably generate ? instead of ?u. But, the character is anyway mapped over the [;] character of US layout.

fdi override
I was having a similar problem to the above recently after upgrading to KDE 4.2 with the newer xorg
I tried updating to hal-info to 20090309 but this didn't seem to work
I've attached a file which you can place at /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi
you just need to edit the layout section to set it to whatever keyboard type is needed (at the moment the attached file is for gb / the UK)
hald should find this file first before processing the ones under /usr/share/hal/fdi, setting the "Video Bus" Device or any other device found to a different layout by default
I have to conclude that the "Video Bus" device did not break my keyboard layout. My keyboard layout is now working fine and I do not believe it was ever caused by "Video Bus" being detected by hal. Am on ~x86 so have xorg-server-1.5.3-r4, hal-info-20090309, hal-0.5.12_rc1, xf86-input-evdev-2.2.0-r1 installed. Sorry for the noise.

OTOH, as long as it doesn't cause problems, all is fine. The Video Bus input device is a keyboard. Mine is: ,----[ excerpt from: /proc/bus/input/devices ] | I: Bus=0019 Vendor=0000 Product=0006 Version=0000 | N: Name="Video Bus" | P: Phys=/video/input0 | S: Sysfs=/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A03:00/device:08/device:09/input/input3 | U: Uniq= | H: Handlers=kbd event3 | B: EV=3 | B: KEY=3f000b 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 `---- The Handlers line shows that it is a keyboard (and only a keyboard). The KEY= line shows that "Video Bus" can send any of these keys: ,----[ excerpt from: /usr/include/linux/input.h ] | #define KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN 224 | #define KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP 225 | #define KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE 227 /* Cycle between available video | outputs (Monitor/LCD/TV-out/etc) */ | #define KEY_UNKNOWN 240 | #define KEY_VIDEO_NEXT 241 /* drive next video source */ | #define KEY_VIDEO_PREV 242 /* drive previous video source */ | #define KEY_BRIGHTNESS_CYCLE 243 /* brightness up, after max is min */ | #define KEY_BRIGHTNESS_ZERO 244 /* brightness off, use ambient */ | #define KEY_DISPLAY_OFF 245 /* display device to off state */ `---- So, if one wants to handle those keys via X, evdev needs to read that input device. -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Created attachment 185587 [details]
