Wookey, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-evdev REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

This is fatal and all I can do is log out of the desktop session (or reboot) to get it working again. This happens every day or two, when I am typing - usually when scrolling back through xterm output. (shift page-up/page-down) Some investigation has revealed: hotplugging the keyboard doesn't change anything - nor does it produce any output in dmesg or /var/log/Xorg.0.log I can ssh in and the system is working fine. My mouse still works fine. plugging in a USB keyboard works fine and allows me to do some debugging: switching to console (ctrl-alt-F1) shows that the PS/2 keyboard is working fine in console mode, so it's only bust in X. Running xev shows only this when I hit a key on the dead keyboard: MappingNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0, request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 248 no keypress events. My /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf fies are attached. Relevant info is: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" # generated from default Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps" EndSection in log file: [ 32.547] (WW) Hotplugging is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled.

So they are arriving at this level, but the X input device seems to be ignoring them $dpkg --get-selections | grep xserver x11-xserver-utils install xserver-common install xserver-xorg install xserver-xorg-core install xserver-xorg-input-all install xserver-xorg-input-evdev install xserver-xorg-input-mouse install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics install xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse install xserver-xorg-input-wacom install xserver-xorg-video-fbdev install xserver-xorg-video-intel deinstall xserver-xorg-video-nouveau install xserver-xorg-video-openchrome deinstall xserver-xorg-video-radeon deinstall xserver-xorg-video-vmware install So I not really sure how this works but it lokos to me that the kernel-level evdev stuff is working fine. X ignores the xorg.conf 'kbd' config (possibly because xserver-xorg-input-kbd is not installed? but then evdev picks up the device and it works fine for a while, but for some reason evdev starts ignoring that input device.
