 |
|
I have a macbook pro 2, one annoying problem is that the escape key does not do what I expect: the "three finger salute" does not do anything and "escape-dot" at the console does not call the last argument. This problem happens both at the console and in gnome, it does not occur when booting on a ubuntu CD.
All other keys are working normally.
I have set /etc/conf.d/keymaps to use KEYMAP="us" and gnome/X is on "Generic 105-key (Intl) PC" layout. At the console and in gnome I can turn CAPS LOCK into control without problem. Only Escape is broken.
in X, xev says
| Code: | KeyPress event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
root 0x52, subw 0x0, time 3055326671, (130,60), root:(137,111),
state 0x0, keycode 9 (keysym 0xff1b, Escape), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (1b) ""
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (1b) ""
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
root 0x52, subw 0x0, time 3055326745, (130,60), root:(137,111),
state 0x0, keycode 9 (keysym 0xff1b, Escape), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (1b) ""
XFilterEvent returns: False

I run ~amd64 but also tried the stable sys-apps/kbd for my arch, doesn't help.
I also tried xmodmap -e "keycode 9 = Escape" but it does not improve or changes the behavior of "escape" randomly.
EDIT: miraculously solved, it seems.
