Keep up good work, ubuntu team!
I have got serious regression in 8.10. I have been using external usb
keyboard's shift keys together with main keyboard's main keys (it's very
important accessibility feature to me to use two keyboards together). I
have been using two keyboards over several years with ubuntu until now.
Look Ubuntu 8.10 xev output when pressing right Shift from one keyboard and
letter T from another
It enteres lower 't' but should enter capital 'T'. When I use one keyboard,
then there is correctly entered capital 'T':

I tested with Ubuntu 8.10 live cd and got same bug and it was correct
with Ubuntu live 8.04.
It's very important bug and without solution I'm forced to go back to
Ubuntu 8.04 (try to live without modifier keys :-)
Any tips or help would be welcome!
