Before installing phase2 debs i had XFree 4.0.1 up'n'running without problems. I got binaries from http://hadess.free.fr/files/xf4. The tarballs extract themselves to /usr/X11R6.4 so it doesn't interefere with rest of install. After installing debs all was fine until i tried to type anything in term. The Keyboard layout was totally hosed. I didn't have Shift-keys, Control,Alt, no NumPad. I started to fiddle around with XF86Config and xkeycaps and managed to get back most of the missing keys. I couldn't make it to use Shift keys (under xkeycaps when i pressed them corresponding keys on screen didn't turn to yellow) It looked as those 2 keys were completely ignored/non-existant. Than i made just one thing: changed /etc/X11/Xserver to point to XFree86 from the tarball and all started to work again. While using Xfree86 from debs i noticed this line in logfile: (II) Defaulting to XFree86/Linux keycode handling. Could this cause problems ? If so how can I (help) fix that ? -- Robert Ramiega | robert@plukwa.net IRC: _Jedi_ | Don't underestimate UIN: 13201047 | http://www.plukwa.net/ | the power of Source
