Patch to fix the xkb symbol files in the XFree86 package. (3.48 KB, patch)

Description Julien Langer 2003-10-20 16:22:02 UTC 
If I bind an action to the "print" key via 
gconf-editor or gnome-keybinding-properties, 
and then press the "print" key nothing 
happens. However keybindings with other keys than the "print" key work well.

"xev" receives the key event from the print 
key:
KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, 
window 0x2e00001,
    root 0x8b, subw 0x0, time 2039111, 
(66,127), root:(73,190),
    state 0x10, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff61, 
Print), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 characters:  ""

KeyRelease event, serial 25, synthetic NO, 
window 0x2e00001,
    root 0x8b, subw 0x0, time 2039191, 
(66,127), root:(73,190),
    state 0x10, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff61, 
Print), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 characters:  "

Comment 3 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-08-14 00:26:25 UTC 
This is a bug in Debian's XFree86 package.  The attached patch fixes the xkb
symbol files so that there is one keycode per physical key; this was being violated.

Debian people:  make sure your X server also has the required fix in
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Events.c.  This is the first hunk in
the following patch file:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=66884&action=view

(note that *that* patch doesn't have the bits for symbols/pc/pc; pick that up
from the attachment in comment #4.)
Comment 6 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-08-14 00:34:57 UTC 
This also happens in SuSE, by the way.
Comment 7 Jean-Yves Lefort 2004-08-14 14:32:52 UTC 
And in FreeBSD with XFree86 (don't know about Xorg).
