 |
|
It's probably only cosmetic, but I've been wondering.
My X11 setup works fine - DRI and everything.
The only thing that's not-yet-perfect is this message that startx spits:
| Code: |
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Warning: Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols
> Ignoring extra symbols
Errors from kkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
|
I don't see any adverse effects, AltGr works as expected, but I'm in the midst of an aggressive "stop-this-trial-&-error" spree, I'd like to know why this message is generated and where I have to look to fix it.
I googled quite some, but the message is always quoted in the context of other errors, and I couldn't find any hint as to how to fix the cause of the message itself.
I assume that there's a rather trivial misconfiguration somewhere, but I don't have a clue where to start looking...? |

| Could it be an xmodmap thing? What is your output from the command |

I didn't even have xmodmap installed...?
I emerged it, and it says:
| Code: |
xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Meta_L (0x9c)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x71), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)

I am currently having problems using the [Alt]+[.] shortcut in bash when in an xterm. This shortcut should insert the last parameter of the previous command to the current command line, but instead it just creates a "®" character. I am suspecting the xkbcomp warning that this thread is about to have something to do with it.
DevSolar, could you please verify that the following works on your system:
1. Start X, open your favorite terminal emulator (if you can, try it with xterm, please).
2. type "echo foo" (without the quotes) and hit return. "foo" should be printed.
3. type "echo " and hit [Alt]+[.]. "foo" should be added to your command line to make it read "echo foo".
Does this work or does step 3 result in "echo ®" or some other strange character?
Thanks in advance!

Try with | Code: | | Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch_multikey" |
in xorg.conf (Section "InputDevice") |

I found out that in urxvt [Alt]+[.] works fine. Since I'm normally not using xterm anyway, I won't investigate further.

I had the same problem and my german keyboard layout dissappeared.
Remerging xorg-server fixed it.
