Arch Linux

Description:

This is related to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31910 and all its duplicates (that have been closed so that I can't comment on them, therefore I'm opening a new task to add this additional information).

There is an open bug in Gnome about this (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686102), but their developers have questioned how xorg-server was compiled for arch. Namely comment #16:

"(In reply to comment #14)
> I have the same arch linux environment and included gnome-settings-daemon
> --debug in my gnome-session (with gnome-session-properties). Now i get debug
> messages in .xsession-errors:

> (gnome-settings-daemon:10144): media-keys-plugin-DEBUG: No Xinput2 support,
> disabling plugin

This sounds very much like an X server bug, which is why it broke after
upgrade. Maybe the Arch people accidentally compiled it without XInput2
support?"



I'm wondering if there's anything to what the Gnome developer has mentioned here, which is why I'm opening this new task. Feel free to mark as duplicate if necessary.

Additional info:
* xorg-server 1.13.0-2


Steps to reproduce:
Using vanilla Gnome 3.4, upgrade to xorg-server 1.13.0-2 and try any hotkeys. Seems to be affecting many people, including myself. See the following threads in addition to the links above:
