The issue is not resolved, it is only masked. If the xorg.conf file has an
InputDevice section that refers to the kbd driver, X reports an error that
there is no 'kbd' driver and the odd behaviour occurs.
The bug disappears if all references to the kbd are removed from the xorg.conf
file.
All users that upgrade with manually edited xorg.conf files will get hit by
this. The documentation concerning the present handling of input devices in
xorg is very poor. I use a serial MouseSystems trackball (MEDL actually). Xorg
ignores by default all entries in xorg.conf that refer to input devices and
keyboards. The normal udev detection works for modern devices but not for older
serial devices. The way to enable manual mouse entries is to include the line:-
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
in the ServerLayout section. This enables the manually added sections without
disabling autodetected devices. How is the handling of touchpad options managed
now?

The key repeat delay for the "down-arrow", "left-arrow", and "End" keys is
longer than the other keys
