Since upgrading to xorg-7.3 some key presses are not registering properly. For example, Holding down 'd' and then pressing and holding 'l_ctrl' works as expect but holding down either 'a' or 's' and then pressing and holding 'l_ctrl' does not. This happens with the following. xorg-server-1.4 xf86-input-keyboard-1.2.2 The problem is probably in xorg-server-1.4 since 1.3 works fine with keyboard driver 1.2.2. Something with the new input hotpluggin? The keyboard is a microsoft natural 4000 USB. I will attach my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log

I wonder whether it could be related to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=442963 where Javier Kohen reports that pressing Alt when Ctrl_L is hold does not generate any Alt event.
It seems to be similar but no, I can't reproduce http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=442963 Brice. Can you reproduce this one?
Yes, I can definitely reproduce your exact bug on my Thinkpad T43 (while I couldn't reproduce the Debian one, but the user was very precise at describing his problem). I only observed a problem when 'a' or 's' are pressed, Ctrl_L is not reported. All other combinations I tried worked, either when changing the letter or Ctrl_L.

Can you reproduce this one? > I could reproduce the "xserver-xorg-input-kbd: order matters when pressing Ctrl + Alt" above one (sort of). I have "ctrl:nocaps" in xorg.conf and if I press CTRL+ALT+t (shortcut for opening a terminal in fvwm2) or ALT+CTRL+t it works as expected. But if I press CAPS_LOCK+ALT+t (notice that CAPS_LOCK should procude CTRL) I only get a CTRL+t event, whereas ALT+CAPSLOCK+t works. (I'm using the newest Debian unstable packages)
Since upgrading to server 1.4.0.90 I cannot reproduce this any longer. I'm not sure exactly which commit is responsible for this. I will wait a couple of days and unless somebody objects close this as FIXED.
Fixed as per Xorg server 1.4.0.90
