Hello,

I experience this bug. After plugging in the extern USB keyboard into my laptop, the external keyboard uses the qwerty (non-default for me) layout. But, the laptop's own (ps/2?) keyboard remains with the original keyboard layout that I had as my default at the time I plugged the external keyboard in.

I use the 'Keyboard Indicator 2.24.1' applet for switching between two layouts. Note that after plugging in the external usb keyboard, the Keyboard Indicator applet: is no longer able to switch between different layouts; and it indicates with it's mouse-hover popup info that I am now using the qwerty layout. However, my internal laptop is still using my original (Dvorak). Neither the internal or external keyboard can have their layouts changed/alternated using the applet the way I could before plugging in the external.

Gnome Version: 2.24.1
Distro: Ubuntu 8.10 (via upgrade)
Attached is the same 'lspci -vvnn' output.

Note that restarting X by logging out or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will put everything back in order again, provided I do not plug keyboard in *after* my X Gnome session has started.

Please let me know how I can help with any more debugging information, outputs, etc.
