What version of XFree86 did you have installed previously? Previously, I have installed XFree86-4.3.0-17, the one that is installed by default with Red Hat Linux Severn 9.0.93. In fact, I have reverted to XFree86-4.3.0-17 in one of the systems I'm experiencing this problem on and now, KDE recognizes the Windows key as a valid modifier. Should be fixed in 4.3.0-26 hello, I just upgraded to XFree86-4.4.0 and I'm experiencing this same problem! It worked fine when I was using the default XFree86 (4.3.0) in Fedora, but when I upgraded to 4.4.0 my windows key isn't recognized in KDE (although xev show's it fine as Super_L). Any help?? Thanks! i think the new versions of xfree must have changed the default way they handle the windows keys. i had the same problem upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4 i was able to fix it by having my keygrabber(bbkeys) look for a different modifier(mod4 - it used to look for Super) unfortunately, that's not going to help you with KDE :( you might try adding the windows keys to the mod3 modifier and see if that helps(xmodmap -e 'add mod3 = Super_L Super_R') After upgrating to Fedora 2 I got exactly the same problem: WinKey in KDE is not recognized as a modifier so all my mappings with it are useless... Should this bug be reopenned? This can be easily solved by adding the following line to the "InputDevice" section of the Xorg's configuration file: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" . . . Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:meta_win" EndSection Fedora Core 2 does not ship with XFree86. I strongly recommend reporting xkb related bugs directly to the XFree86 project for OS releases in which XFree86 is included, by reporting the issue to: http://bugs.xfree86.org" For OS releases which ship X.Org X11, such as Fedora Core 2, I recommend reporting the bugs directly to the X.Org project in their bugzilla located at http://bugzilla.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component. The upstream xkb maintainer is very active and usually responds to issues within a week or less, often with fixes. Red Hat will generally follow the upstream resolution on a given xkb issue, as keeping closely in line with upstream for Xkb is very important. Closing issue as WONTFIX, however if you do report this upstream, please reopen this report and add the upstream bug URL if you would like Red Hat to track the issue. We can then set it to UPSTREAM for tracking purposes, and monitor Ivan's resolution in the upstream bugzilla. Thanks in advance. |
