Hi,
since I upgraded to xfree86 4.2.1-3 (sarg) the left and right Control,
Command and Alt keys generate the same keycodes:
Contrl_L and Control_R 37
Alt_L and Alt_R 64
Cmd_L and Cmd_R 115
Because of that I can't use Alt_R as AltGr anymore.
BTW, on the VT Console the keyboard works fine.
My hardware is an Powermac 9600/300 the keyboard is a german ADB
Keyboard manufactured by MacALLY. It was working fine before the
upgrade.
dmesg says this while probing the ADB bus
ADB keyboard at 2, handler 1
Detected ADB keyboard, type ISO, swapping keys.
input1: ADB HID on ID 2:2.05
Here is the Keyboard Portion of
my XF86Config-4:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
#Option "XkbRules" "macintosh"
#Option "XkbRules" "macintosh_old"
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#Option "XkbOptions" "ralt:mode_switch"
EndSection
I tried using xfree86, macintosh and even macintosh_old as XkbRules,
but still all modifier keys generate the same KeyCodes.
Do I have to modify the /etc/X11/xkb/geometry/macintosh file?
I can't find any documentation on the syntax of the file
(I tried man XF86Config-4 and www.xfree86.org).
Any hints and pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Vinai
