Description:
After recent upgrade, Xorg stopped to run if hal is not running. OK. So I started HAL. the problem is that it completely breaks keyboard - pressing any arrow key, or windows key generates extra, keypresses - like "ENTER", or some letters. examples - arrow down, generates arrow down and then enter. windows key generates letter "F" and then windows key code. I do not know how to debug it more. Is there any known problem regarging it? Additional info: * hal - 0.5.14-1 * xorg - newest, today upgraded * kde 4.3 I use logitech wireless keyboard - which works OK without HAL. Keyboard is configured as pc105 with layout pl and variant pl. |

More background information - after filling the bug, I removed hotplug from xorg.conf (commented out it now), and removed hal from rc.conf.
It worked ok - all keys fine.
Now, when I turned hal back on, and autoplug - I have still keyboard issues, but different?! windows key works ok now - no extra chars.
But. Right alt generates "enter" and it generates something which makes it not possible to enter my accented letters (polish) - which usually are generated using right-alt + letter - np. ą is right-alt + a now it simply makes enter (new line), and that's all.
