Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
after upgrading to lucid I had to notice that the kbd driver has been removed so I had to change my /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use the evdev driver for the keyboard:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard_evdev"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
#Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier "Keyboard_kbd"
# Driver "kbd"
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
# Option "CoreKeyboard"
#EndSection
after that my left arrow key stopped working. using xev and xmodmap I found that the key was generating keycode 113 events which were mapped to ISO_Level3_Shift. workaround: xmodmap -e 'keycode 113 = Left'
it appears that I am not the only one affected by this:

mapped (xmodmap -pke) as ISO_Level3_Shift instead of "Left". as 113 is the standard keycode for "Left" I wonder who messed up with the keyboard mappings. I use the german nodeadkeys layout.
