Bug#235125: xfree86-common: Decimal point on numeric part of Danish kbd doesn't work in some apps
Package: xfree86-common
Version: 4.3.0-2
Severity: normal
In most X applications like xchat and gaim I cannot use the decimal
point on the numeric part at the right of my keyboard. It is as if no
input is registered. In Mozilla, the button push results in the
insertion of a |
Disabling Numlock turns the key into a regular Delete button as
it is supposed to.
There is no problem when running gnome-terminal or in a TTY - the
decimal point is printed correctly.
My keyboard worked as normal until a recent upgrade of Debian Unstable.
I have a Danish keyboard with the following settings in XF86Config-4:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "dk"
EndSection
I have had the same problem with Red Hat Linux 8.0.
This bug looks like bug #233726 with the exception that I have set pc105
in XF86Config-4...
