Description:
I'm using a config-less xorg-server 1.5.3-2. After the upgrade the xf86-input-evdev 2.1.0-1 and xorg-server 1.5.3-3, pressing ctrl-c while in gnome crashes xorg and restarts gdm. Reverting to xorg-server 1.5.3-2 didn't help, reverting to xf86-input-evdev 2.0.7-1 fixed the problem. Additional info: * package version(s) * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: Upgrade to evdev 2.1.0-1 and press Ctrl-C. |
This task depends upon
some more info here
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "true"
EndSection
fixes the ctrl-c issue, but exiting xorg using "c-a-backspace" or switching to a VC using "c-a-1" does not work.
about AllowEmptyInput - it may be default, but adding it to xorg.conf does change evdev's behavior.
Before I had the ctrl-c issue, I didn't have any config files for xorg.
Here's the link to the commit (taken from the URL in my first comment):

In Keyboard Preferences - Layouts - Layout Options - Alt/Win behavior, I had "Left Alt is swapped with left Win-key" selected. Worked fine for xev and X apps, but apparently it confused the rest of the system (is this another xorg bug?).
With "Alt/Win key behavior" on Default and AllowEmptyInput true in xorg.conf, everything works as expected.
Running xorg without an xorg.conf leads to the described bug. I haven't tested it but I can imagine that xorg.conf's without AllowEmptyInput will also produce this bug.
Cheers!
