Subject: [OxLUG] Weird mouse/keyboard behaviour
Just in case this hits anyone else....

My Debian Testing box has been exhibiting weird mouse and keyboard behaviour
for a few days. For example, xev showed the down arrow key generated a down
arrow, but also a keypad enter.

Finally tracked it down today. My /etc/X11/xorg.conf had the traditional 
entries for mouse and keyboard. A recent X11 update introduced HAL discovered 
mouse and keyboard as well. Removing the xorg.conf static entries has restored 
normality, much to my relief.
