Following the thread from bug #567756, Ariel Garcia opened a new bug
report claiming that this problem only was applicable with an empty
xorg.conf
Please see bug #571636.

The problem dissapears if instead of having an empty xorg.conf file,
I add the following "manual" configuration:
----------------------
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "L0"
InputDevice "k0"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "k0"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event4"
EndSection
----------------------
Endquote.
I tried this, and also the suggested change to the Device option to
reflect a file listed in
/dev/input/by-path/
or
/dev/input/by-id/
Strangely though I had no file within either of these directories
corresponding to a keyboard of any kind,
just two entries:
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Apple_Computer_Apple_Internal_Trackpad-event-mouse
and
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Apple_Computer_Apple_Internal_Trackpad-event-mouse
And clearly this fix didn't work for me.
So does this mean my keyboard is not being detected at all by Hal or
udev (or whatever it is now)?
