	I'm using the 7.3 release and the only problem I have is with
my keyboard. With 7.2 release, everything works perfectly. With 7.3
release, with the exact *same* configuration the keyboard sometimes
work and sometimes doesn't. 

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Keyboard1"
    Driver         "kbd"
    Option         "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
    Option         "XkbModel" "abnt2"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "br"
EndSection

	The problem is that "shift" won't work for instance.

	I'm afraid it's related to the new hotplug input code.

	Here are the relevant lines of the X log:
