I am also affected by this bug. I thought it was a Gnome problem, which is why
I opened Debian bug 507743.

Removing xserver-xorg-input-evdev, as one follow-up to this bug suggested,
leaves my laptop without any keyboard/touchpoint handling in X at all.

I want to run Xorg 7.4 to obtain the benefit of the latest Intel drivers for
the chip set used in this laptop.

Is there any work around or updated package that I could try?

For reference, the laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad X200.

Bug#442316: xserver-xorg-input-evdev: Broken as of Today

[Marc Fargas]

Package: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
Version: 1:2.0.99.3-1
Severity: normal

Hi,
I upgraded some packages yesterday, ones of whom was
xserver-xorg-input-evdev. Now, since I rebooted, my keyboard in
screwed much like the first message in this bug describes.

The language is OK. I can write without problems, but the Windows key
doesn't work. Arrows act as Enter or even one of those acts as a
Print Screen (my /tmp is now full of screenshots!) Alt Gr doesn't
work also.

I'd say my keyboard had always worked fine. I've always used evdev (I
think), the relevant xorg.conf part:

Section InputDevice
Identifier  Keyboard0
Driver  kbd
EndSection

Any easy way to fix this in the meantime? I doubt my configuration is
rare so maybe when this goes to unstable you'll see more affected
prople ;)

Anyway, thanks for your work with those packages, I've been told X.Org
is a beast to maintain ;o

Regards,
Marc
