So. Until today, I had been happily using the "windows key" on my
keyboard as "Mod_4". That made me happy. Then, I pulled down sarge's
new X stuff. My Windows key doesn't do anything anymore. I've tried
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and changing some of the keyboard
options, but it hasn't helped. Here's what I have in XF86Config-4 right
now:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:meta_win"
EndSection
The altwin:meta_win line is new, but other than that this is the same
keyboard definition that used to work just fine before I installed the
new X server.
I ran xkeycaps and used it and xmodmap to assign functionality to these
keys, but I know that xkb is the "right way" to define keymaps in X. So
if anybody can help me get things fixed, I'd very much appreciate it!
Thanks.
