Laptop keyboard does not work

[karu.pruun]

Hi Martin

Oh right, my bad, I assumed you're running the latest master with
Michael's patches! I believe if you'd upgrade to the latest master
(ask if you don't know how to do that) with the recent evdev patches,
everything will work. Use the xorg.conf I attached, where both
keyboard and mouse are driven by libinput. On my laptop, the default
evdev sysctl-s worked.

Best

Still, your keyboard *should* work without evdev - I really believe this is a configuration issue. Can you please again attach the full xorg.conf file that you are currently using? As Peeter mentioned,  you have a typo in your xorg.conf.
