Hi all,
I want to give a temporarily quick fix to this problem.
I don't know exactly what's wrong with the default input hotplugging
keyboard detection, but after asking help on #debian irc. The problem
probably is related to evdev driver. Disable input hotplugging and use
"kbd" driver fix the problem, as described below:
1. disable X input hotplugging:
add the following to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
EndSection
This will tell X to use the input config in xorg.conf.
2. make sure your keyboard config is correct, for us keyboard, it
should be something like:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
3. restart X.
By the way, I'm using GNOME env, so it's not specific to KDE. And I
also see someone using RHEL has the same problem. This could be a
general X issue instead of distro issue.
Hope that helps,
Yuanle
