Comment 18 for bug 283128

I did a little bit more testing:
* this additional "??" layout group first to be not displayed after restart, if I click on the keyboard indicator I just get the expected layouts. However the moment I press first key the system seems to add this layout ?!
* For test purpose I added the "extra" keyboad/mouse section to the xorg.conf, but this time with:
  Option "AutoAddDevices" "no"
in the ServerLayout section. Beside the fast this seems to mix up the special character (like volume up/down etc.).
The issue doesn`t happen without hal detection.
* I enhanced the HAL fdi file mentioned in about bug:
...............
  <device>
    <match key="info.product" contains="Video Bus">
      <remove key="input.x11_driver"/>
      <remove key="info.subsystem"/>
      <remove key="input.device"/>
      <remove key="info.category"/>
    </match>
  </device>
............
This seems to avoid a video device is added as keyboard, but other than this there seems to be no improvement "??"-layout group still appears.

I wonder about the patches mentioned here from Peter Hutterer:
