Re: xkb settings, BackSpace not working in X
Anyone figure this one out? I just upgraded and I have the same problem.
Kelly
Ok... let's start with the beginning. Here are the packages I use(some
might be irrelevant to my problems... included them just in case):
-xfree86-comm v3.3.6-11
-xlib6g v3.3.6-11
-xserver-mach64 v3.3.6-11
-enlightenment v0.16.5-1
-gnome-core v1.2.3-helix
/etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "Keyboard"
Protocol "Standard"
XkbRules "xfree86"
XkbModel "pc102"
XkbLayout "ca"
EndSection
/etc/X11/Xmodmap
PC keyboard
keycode 22 = BackSpace
keycode 107 = Delete
--------------
if more is required please ask. I really want to get rid of this problem
as it is very annoying to only be able to delete in one direction!!
