           Summary: Keys get stuck when they're pressed when XDGASetMode is
                    called
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.7.0
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://x.mame.net
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Server/general
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: j.w.r.degoede at hhs.nl


To reproduce:
-install SDL, with DGA-support compiled in and Mailstrom (Fedora Core versions
 will do fine)
-export export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=dga
-run Maelstrom from an xterm, keep the enter key pressed after typing Maelstrom, 
 untill you see the intro screen
-release the enter key
-exit from Maelstrom
-notice how the enter key is stuck, press it to unstuck it.

Now most people won't keep the enter key pressed after a command but certain
DGA using programs use hotkeys to switch from a normal window to DGA, try for
example:
-download and compile xmame-0.85 (0.86 has a workaround),
 include DGA support
-run it as root
-press alt+home at the same time to switch to DGA mode
-exit completly by pressing ESC
-notice how alt is stuck (and so is home)
