Hi,

at x11@: please CC me.

Is someone seeing some strange keyboard behavior recently? I updated =20
to -current after gcc4.2 and xorg 7 and everything was fine. Then I =20
updated this week some ports (all which where stale since last week), =20
and boom, the system doesn't print all the characters I type anymore. =20
Symptom: a-z and numbers work, but the keys for German umlauts produce =20
strange characters I've never typed before. I can not produce @ with =20
the keyboard anymore (no output at all). I also can not switch to a =20
console (ctrl+alt+Fx).

I don't remember which ports where stale, but maybe gtk and perhaps =20
some xorg port was updated...

I didn't change any config or updated the basesystem (there was no =20
reboot, just a restart of gdm... more correctly, I stopped and started =20
the jail where my desktop is running in, but there was no change to =20
the host at all, and no change in the jail except for an portupgrade), =20
so I think something in the xorg-gnome chain is eating my keypresses =20
and spitting out some garbage. Anyone with an idea what this is or how =20
to find out what the problem is?

Bye,
Alexander.
