According to the Xorg log[*], the keyboard uses 2 event devices (in particular, due to that, I get many duplicate lines in this log file: one for each event device). But the error I get in the journalctl output is only for the second event device. [*] The lines from /var/log/Xorg.0.log corresponding to these two event devices: [ 18.667] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard (/dev/input/event3) [ 18.667] (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3" [ 18.669] (II) event3 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: is tagged by udev as: Keyboard [ 18.669] (II) event3 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: device is a keyboard [ 18.669] (II) event3 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: device removed [ 18.698] (**) Option "config_info" "udev:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-6/2-6.2/2-6.2:1.0/0003:05AC:0221.0001/input/input9/event3" [ 18.700] (II) event3 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: is tagged by udev as: Keyboard [ 18.700] (II) event3 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: device is a keyboard [ 18.701] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard (/dev/input/event4) [ 18.701] (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event4" [ 18.704] (II) event4 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: is tagged by udev as: Keyboard [ 18.704] (II) event4 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: device is a keyboard [ 18.704] (II) event4 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: device removed [ 18.734] (**) Option "config_info" "udev:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-6/2-6.2/2-6.2:1.1/0003:05AC:0221.0002/input/input10/event4" [ 18.736] (II) event4 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: is tagged by udev as: Keyboard [ 18.736] (II) event4 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: device is a keyboard [ 16244.494] (II) event3 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: device removed [ 16244.510] (II) event4 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: device removed [ 25897.048] (II) event3 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: is tagged by udev as: Keyboard [ 25897.048] (II) event3 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: device is a keyboard [ 25897.049] (II) event4 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: is tagged by udev as: Keyboard [ 25897.049] (II) event4 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: device is a keyboard [ 26635.074] (II) event3 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: device removed [ 26635.094] (II) event4 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: device removed [ 28690.158] (II) event3 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: is tagged by udev as: Keyboard [ 28690.158] (II) event3 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: device is a keyboard [ 28690.159] (II) event4 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: is tagged by udev as: Keyboard [ 28690.159] (II) event4 - Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard: device is a keyboard -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
