Sometimes I press shift but it's not recognized by Xorg

Thanks, I've been looking for this bug for a while. First I thought my typing skills started to become bad, after that I thought it was my keyboard.

xorg-server got updated a few days ago to version 1.4-6
This bug still exists in 1.4-6

I'll rebuild xorg-server with the patch applied again and test it - after that I'll give feedback

The gitweb patch mentioned above works for me, as does the one-liner patch I attached in  FS#8810  (which was just a subset of the gitweb patch). Can play d2x-rebirth with the Left Ctrl key now :)

See  FS#8667  for another patch: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8667?getfile=1587

The patch at  FS#8667  (and also  FS#8810 ) is just an inferior version of the first bit of the gitweb patch above ;)

Seems fixed in new version of xorg-server. Set pkgver=1.4.0.90 and comment out the patch commands.
