 |

I've replaced XFree86 with X.org today. Everything works fine except that the < > keys do not work anymore  I've googled and found out that I have to change the keyboard layout to "pc105" (had "pc104" there before). Unfortunately it still doesn't work. Now for the confusing part of my problem: The keys DO work when I start X on any display other than 0! Strange, eh?
Any idea? Btw, I own a standard german keyboard with MS Windows keys...

Well you can always go for a custom xkeymap...
Here's mine, for br_abnt2 keyboard with compaq's keys:
| Code: | xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86(abnt2)+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete+caps(shift)" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "us(pc104)+br+inet(evo)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc" };
};
|
it must be in some file, an then you load it with:
| Code: | cat <file> | xkbcomp - :0
|
Mind you, the "+inet(evo) " will not work for you because it is only in my symbols/inet file, but it is not essential (willy-nilly internetie keys)
Peace.

| Thanks for the hint but this seems to be a user-level solution (also not a very clean one. I never had to deal with custom keymap configuration, so why now?). The keys already do not work in kdm... |

Solved the problem!
I unmerged xorg-x11, removed the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, emerged xorg-x11 again. Now it works! |
