Subject:   Laptop keyboard not responsive after USB keyboard unplug

Hi,

I have an old (since the conversion to HAL I think) problem which
begins to be very annoying since I now need more mobility:

    when I disconnect the USB keyboard/mouse from my laptop, the
    laptop keyboard is no longer responsive.

    Internal touchpad/mouse continue to work. When plug back the
    USB keyboard, all keyboards (laptop + USB) work again.

    This problem occurs only when using X11. When not using X11,
    keyboard plug/unplug is working perfectly well.

This problem has been already described in:
    http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-September/011898.html
    http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=21633
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39532

I did not got any answer from these people, so I don't know if they
finally solved this problem. The second URL
    http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=21633
has a lot of pertinent informations.

I'm wondering if any of you has already worked on this problem,
and/or are willing to help.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Pierre

My actual settings are now:
- FreeBSD vagabond 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #2 r244925M: Tue Jan  1 18:30:45 CET 2013     pda@biceps.ma.maison:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/VAGABOND  amd64
    (the problem was occurring largely before 2011)
- ports: xf86-input-keyboard-1.6.1 xf86-video-intel-2.17.0_1
    (compiled with WITH_NEW_XORG=yes and WITH_KMS=yes, but the
    problem was also occurring on my previous laptop from 2008 and
    previous port versions)
- Xorg.conf: no InputDevice section, and no AllowEmptyInput line
- hald and dbus started (in a KDE4 environment)
