Everytime I hit the "r" key on the key the scroll-lock led on the keyboard lights up. When I press either the return key or " (shift+2) it gets turned off. I'm using a regular ps/2 keyboard with a german layout: (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD)
please attach your Xorg.log, your xorg.conf (if you have one), the output of setxkbmap -print and finally the out.xkb file after running xkbcomp -xkb :0 out.xkb. Thanks. also, what version of xserver and evdev are you running?

I don't see anything out of the ordinary there, so lets try a few things: - does it happen if you replace nvidia with nv? - does it happen with another layout? - does it happen with a test user (to ensure there are no stale settings) - does it happen if you add a Section "ServerFlags" with Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"? - other than that, does the keyboard work alright?
I'm no longer seeing this so it looks like one of the updates in the last few days has fixed the problem.
I just wanted to report that im seeing this right now on fedora 10. My video card crashed earlyer today and since X restarted 'r' lights scroll lock and 'enter' or '2' turns it off. This is with a regular us layout keyboard. Im also seeing lots of these in /var/log/messages: May 19 17:30:26 ant init: tty2 main process (12036) killed by QUIT signal May 19 17:30:26 ant init: tty2 main process ended, respawning May 19 17:30:29 ant init: tty2 main process (12038) killed by QUIT signal May 19 17:30:29 ant init: tty2 main process ended, respawning I suspect the issue might be related. Im also not worried about it as I suspect that it'll go away at the next reboot. If it doesnt I'll report back and re-open the bug.

FYI, this has regressed for me, new bug 677862.
