Possibly related to bug 573570.
Comment 2 Peter Hutterer 2010-03-26 00:42:52 UTC 
please attach your Xorg.log and the output of "xkbcomp -xkb $DISPLAY -" before and after the issue occurs.

What DE do you use? does the issue occur in runlevel 3 after starting the X server just with "xinit --" (you need to install xterm before you try that)?

The second file gives an error too:

$ xkbcomp -xkb $DISPLAY - > after
Warning:          Could not load keyboard geometry for :0.0
                  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
                  Resulting keymap file will not describe geometry

The problem with this bug is that when the user's password contains a letter which is mismapped by the new keyboard layout, they can't log in again.

This bug is a good example of death by a thousand paper cuts: I am annoyed multiple times a day by this bug.

The warning from comment 5 is not given on my laptop. Perhaps the bug is triggered by (certain) usb keyboards.

Upgrading to Fedora 13 Alpha fixes this bug.
Comment 9 Matěj Cepl 2010-04-15 13:40:48 UTC 
Thank you for letting us know.

The bug is back: but only when I switch users. What info do you need?
