Hello list, I'm having a rather irritating problem with my Thinkpad X60 and Xorg. Previously, I have been able to plug and unplug an external USB keyboard with impunity. As of a few months ago, when I unplug the external keyboard, the built-in one stops working. If I plug the external one back in, both keyboards work again. I worked around this for a while by switching to the console and then back, which seemed to poke hald or whatever to get things working again. A week or two ago, this workaround stopped working -- when I switch back to X, I just get a blank screen. That's a bug of some kind too, but a nebulous one, so I'm focusing on the one that's more debuggable. Looking at the Xorg.0.log, I see this on unplug: (II) config/hal: removing device Apple Keyboard (II) UnloadModule: "kbd" Thanks HAL, but I still need that module. I tried adding a separate InputDevice entry, so that X might retain the driver, but the behavior is the same. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Here is the log and config. http://redundancy.redundancy.org/Xorg.0.log http://redundancy.redundancy.org/xorg.conf Thanks, David
