Hi,
I've got a problem with my keyboard in X. I use Xfce 4.4.3 and xorg 1.5.3-r5. Key '9' in alphanumerical part and Key 'STOP' in multimedia part of keyboard don't work. I don't think this is because of upgrade to x server 1.5 because key 9 didn't work before this upgrade too. Output of xev is here:

'9' key:
Code:
FocusOut event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

FocusIn event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor

KeymapNotify event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  2   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   



'STOP' key:
Code:
FocusOut event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

FocusIn event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor

KeymapNotify event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  2   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   


Any ideas what's going on?

Input configuration is handled by HAL in xorg 1.5 so you must have the correct keyboard model enabled in XFCE. This has caused a lot of people headaches during the upgrade. Evdev works great for me under GNOME. I would try that first.
