hotplugging: no kbd layout switching any more

Hi,

After the most recent upgrade (xf86-input-evdev, xf86-input-keyboard, etc.) no keyboard layout switching for me any more.

Present configuration:

(1) KDEmod 3, Keyboard Layout: Evdev-managed keyboard (as it used to be)
(2) No fdi files updated, either in /etc/hal/fdi or in /usr/share/hal/fdi

(3) /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap">
      <append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append>
    </match>

    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
      <merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>

      <!-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to
           keyboard otherwise). -->
      <merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">keyboard</merge>
      <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"

</deviceinfo>

CapsLock works as usual, layout icon toggles as it's supposed to, but I'm having only English characters, regardless.

Any ideas?

temporary fix while we/they work on it, kill the hal process and specify your keyboard settings in xorg.conf

Re: hotplugging: no kbd layout switching any more

Here they discuss the same thing.
This, too, sounds familiar, though the perceived cause is different.
rocknice, do you mean that the problem is recognized, the but reports filed, etc.?
