Shift+Numpad not working since last Xorg upgrade in E17

Hello folks,

I'm one of those people who switched their X server to allow shift+numpad with switched-off numlock to navigate through text and input fields (especially marking things!). Since my last system upgrade, which even upgraded Xorg, I miss this (for me very important!) behavior.

The problem only occurs in my main Desktop environment, which is Enlightenment E17. On KDE 4.3, everything works as it should. I think this has something to do with KDE-internal settings.

It worked so nice until the last upgrade. To get it work the first time, I disabled evdev.

My xorg.conf is this one.

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
   Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
   Option "AutoEnableDevices" "false"
EndSection

Section "Files"
    ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
EndSection

Section "Module"
    Load  "glx"
    Load  "extmod"

    Load  "dri"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Keyboard0"
    Driver      "kbd"
    Option        "XkbLayout" "de"
    Option        "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
    Option        "XkbTypes" "default+numpad(microsoft)"
    #Option        "XkbTypes" "numpad:microsoft"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse0"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option        "Protocol" "auto"
    Option        "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option        "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor0"
    VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
    ModelName    "Monitor Model"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
    BoardName   "GeForce 7025"

EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Card0"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     1
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     4
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     8
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     15
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     16
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

The important line, which is not working anymore is

    Option        "XkbTypes" "default+numpad(microsoft)"

Any help is appreciated!

Re: Shift+Numpad not working since last Xorg upgrade in E17

Well, today there was a xkbutils and hal-Update, but not fix of this bug.
I need help on this topic anymore. Didn't found any way out of it yet ... and its really handicapping when I must work without my normal keyboard layout. It worked so nice in the past, then one update came of one module involved, since then I can't get it to work anymore.
