Re: Strange X problem--right mouse kills X


Today after upgrade my debian Sid, many keys of my keyboard didn't work
properly. For example, Alt-Gr key had the enter function, when I pushed "up"
direction key the Ksnapshot was launched, etc.
Then I saw in this forum that the package xserver-xorg-input-evdev could
have a problem with other modules related to xorg. To remove
xserver-xorg-input-evdev with apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-evdev solved
my problem.
Thank you very much for your help.

Regards,
Javier.

Are other people noticing the same thing?

I found that non-US keyboard layouts were no longer working after this
morning's upgrade. It seems that the combination of the newest version
of hal (0.5.10-1) with xserver-xorg-input-evdev (1:1.2.0~git20070819-3)
causes some problems with xorg input devices.

In my case I found that either downgrading hal (and hal-info) or
uninstalling xserver-xorg-input-evdev fixes the problem.

You could try if one of these actions helps with your mouse issue.
(There are a few mouse-related bug reports open against the
xserver-xorg-input-evdev package, but I did not look at them more
closely.)
