Weird behaviour of numlock and capslock on USB keyboard in X. After pressing
those keys, keyboard "hangs" -- no sysrq, no lock leds are flashing.

After plug; unplug of the keyboard, it works unless I press the keys
again.

There is nothing in dmesg. X log says
(II) evdev brain: Rescanning devices (3).
(II) evdev brain: Rescanning devices (4).
(II) evdev brain: Rescanning devices (5).
(II) evdev brain: Rescanning devices (6).

in this kernel, but I don't know if this is relevant.

After booting back to .20-mm2 everything is OK.
