If you hold down a (non-cursor) key, does it repeat as expected, or do you just get a single keystroke no matter how long you hold the key? I'm really curious as to whether this is an X issue or a kernel ADB driver issue, or what. >
yes key repeats of regular keys. no success with xmodmap experiments with the cursor/page keys though. still dead keys. tried pc104 layout instead of mac and that got rid of xkbcomp errors but dead keys still dead. AFAIK nothing wrong with my keyboard. however i have a non mac adb keyboard i could try (adesso), i would rather not I need it elsewhere. although i have more Xclients going now from debian menu, xemacs is still crashing, producing some verbose error messages. I really do need it, otherwise i can't really use X. I see that it was build in march however the gcc of november and august kernel. that is not too encouraging. I tried your other window managers suggestions and although they do work, (fluxbox and flwm) I feel openbox is better in general and here as well. Brian
