Affects: gdm (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
When I boot Ubuntu Dapper Drake Flight 4 the keyboard dies. From the
time the drivers are loaded during boot, until I enter gdm the keyboard
works and I am able to swith Num Lock and Caps Lock on and off, when gem
starts I can no longer do this, and if num lock is on is switched off. I
am able to log in by unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in.
When I then log in I am, however, unable to switch between keyboard
layouts. (GB and DK).

I have looked in messages, Xorg.0.log and every other file in /var/log
without finding anything that resembles a relevant error message.

My machine is an AMD 3500+ running the AMD64 version of flight 4. The
keyboard is a logitech cordless.
