 Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2015 8:57 pm Post subject: missing keyboard keys after xfce upgrade |
 |
|
Hi, after upgrading xfce, some keyboard keys don't work! I type them, but it doesn't write/diplay nothing.
The keys are: b, f,m, t
The problem is only when i start xfce. If i type them in terminal (with X don't started), they works. Also, if i use i3wm the works perfectly.
I tryed changing layout in keyboard settings, but the problem is not solved. If i check "use system defaults" under layout tab and then restart, i can write the first missing key. So, for example, the first "m" i type, it is showed. But if i type that key other time, it stop to work.
I'm using "Generic 105 keys" layout, but also if i change it, nothing solved.
Are you any idea how i could solve? Thank you!  |

Well no idea where to start but xev shows those Events, for mouse and keyboards afaik and mayboe more, and than its up to dhe Desktop environment how they are handled...
force a layout with xorg.conf ...
first i would check if every hit generates an event, could be a hardware issue too |

Ok, when i press a working key, for example "a", xev return me:
| Code: |
KeyPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x91, subw 0x0, time 671025, (-296,276), root:(415,661),
state 0x0, keycode 38 (keysym 0x61, a), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (61) "a"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (61) "a"
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x91, subw 0x0, time 671160, (-296,276), root:(415,661),
state 0x0, keycode 38 (keysym 0x61, a), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (61) "a"
XFilterEvent returns: False
|
now press the "m" key, don't working, xev return me:
| Code: |
FocusOut event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor
FocusIn event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor
KeymapNotify event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys: 87 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

EDIT: I googled and i found the problem: I enabled hotkeys for that letters. Hotkey are: AltGr + {m,f,t,b}. If i set hotkeys with anoter "special key" (for example Ctrl +m ) it works. |

oh you talked about hotkeys.
they hardly worked for myself
my 6 years old asus notebook has some extra keys which generate weird keycodes which are "unsupported" in my point of view.
only thing that you can remap them to control key and an ordinary letter, thats it.
everything with altgr, function (called fn on keyboard), and such bareley works. |
