Title:
after gdm login, keyboard doesn't send KeyPress events
Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I can type fine at the gdm prompt, and the mouse works after login
too. fvwm catches my bound function keys for window manipulation, but
regular keypresses into windows don't work.
I ran xev and typed into it. Usually each keypress makes 3 events:
FocusOut event, serial 23, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001,
mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyPointer
FocusIn event, serial 23, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001,
mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyPointer
KeymapNotify event, serial 23, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys: 2 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
..and the keyrelease makes 3 more:
FocusOut event, serial 23, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001,
mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyPointer
FocusIn event, serial 23, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001,
mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyPointer
KeymapNotify event, serial 23, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys: 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
but I noticed that if I press a few keys and overlap the time they're
down, I can get occasional correct-looking KeyRelease events with the
right keysyms and everything. I haven't found any way to get a
KeyPress.

dbus and hal for a very similar bug. I have tried restarting dbus but nothing
seems to change.

but running "gconftool-2 -s
/apps/gnome-settings-daemon/plugins/a11y-keyboard/active -t bool false" had no
effect
This damage happened upon my upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. One other
thing I changed today was that I used to have Module Load "xtrap" in
my xorg.conf but took it out when I got warnings from the new X
version.
