Package: xserver-xorg-input-all
Version: 1:7.3+18
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
After a dist-upgrade of my Debian testing system to the bleeding edge a few
days ago I had a problem after rebooting my system:
- On the kdm logon screen I noticed a weird behaviour of my keyboard, I was not
able to log in.
- I switched to the console. On the console the keyboard behaved correctly.
- I activated the automatic login feature in kdm and rebootet the system.
- The system rebooted and directly logged into my KDE session. The system
looked as before.
- When typing on the keyboard, I noticed that every other key a new window
opened, or another command executed.
- I then noticed, that there is a pattern to this behaviour.
- After starting xev and pressing the letter "g" two times I received this log:
KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001, root 0x88,
subw 0x0, time 180149, (474,128), root:(475,171), state 0x0, keycode
42 (keysym 0x67, g), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes:
(67) "g" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (67) "g" XFilterEvent
returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window
0x3000001, root 0x88, subw 0x0, time 180493, (474,128),
root:(475,171), state 0x5, keycode 42 (keysym 0x47, G), same_screen

0x88, subw 0x0, time 180859, (474,128), root:(475,171), state 0x5,
keycode 42 (keysym 0x47, G), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1
bytes: (07) "" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (07) "" XFilterEvent
returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window
0x3000001, root 0x88, subw 0x0, time 181154, (474,128),
root:(475,171), state 0x5, keycode 42 (keysym 0x47, G), same_screen
YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (07) "" XFilterEvent returns:
False
- Interestingly, although I pressed "g" twice, only the first event reflects
that choice. The other events look as if I pressed control key.
- Another strange fact is that I do have no repeating key functionality on the
system anymore. If I want to write "ggg" I have to press the letter "g" three
times (or actually six times for every second time I trigger a command, like
new window, duplicate window, bookmark...)
- The xorg.conf file did not change since quite some time. So I am very sure
that the configuration is (still) OK.
- I suspect there is something wrong with X since the console is OK, KDE shows
no sign of a wrong configuration and xev is reproducing the error in the log.
This is an important bug since I can't use the system anymore (which makes bug
reporting difficult) and I suspect others are affected as well. Sorry if I
submitted this report multiple times, but I did not get a submission report the
last time...

No reply to that, so I'm going to assume it was an old libx11 and close
this. (new xkb-data in unstable tries to ensure that a sufficiently
recent libx11-6 package is installed)
