Re: XFree86/Keyboard can't use at-sign
Hello Branden,
this doesn't work for me (i had this in the very beginning) as all the
other solutions provided doesn't work for me either.
Everything works fine, but i can't write an @ with my keyboard under X
(neither with the integrated keyboard of the powerbook g4 nor with an
external apple pro keyboard). But i can write the @ in the console.
This was the section i had in the beginning:
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
According to the XFree86.0.log the keymap gets loaded correctly. (during
all my trials i had some errors like "can't load xkb keymap, falling
back to pre-XKB keymap)
How can i get the keycodes which can be used with xmodmap?
If i use showkey then the keycodes aren't the ones for use with xmodmap.
Is there anywhere some general information how XFree86 treats keyboards?
I couldn't find anything on their website.
With the xmodmap solution Siggi Langauf provided, i could write the
at-sign but the i wasn't able to switch from X to console (using
Strg-Alt-F1). This was it:
clear mod1
keycode 64 = Mode_switch
Cheers,
Daniel
