Description:
Using evdev < 2.0.99.2, xorg catches all input from the input device, so daemons for special keys like pommed cannot function. This is fixed and version 2.1.0 is available. I set severity to high as many people are experiencing all kinds of problems with the xorg update and this one has the potential to annoy a lot of people. Additional info: * package version(s) xf86-input-evdev 2.0.7 Steps to reproduce: e.g. try using pommed on a macbook, won't work when X is running |

I haven't tried without this as my spanish macbook keyboard was not running fine and had to revert to old config. If I have time, I'll try to enable hotpulgging again and try this problem.
pressing [ALT] + [Fx] switches to the tty's instesd of [CTRL] + [ALT] + [Fx] and pressing [CTRL] + [C] (to exit a terminal app e.g.) causes the XServer to shut down. And X was freezing randomly.
downgrading to version 2.0.7 solved the problems.
