Package: xkb-data
Version: 1.6-1
Severity: normal
Following an upgrade (done on a weekly basis, so I'm pretty certain about the
time frame) around August 23rd several keys of my KP-section lost their
previously working functions. In particular:
Key: Produces:
---------------------
KP_Divide Insert
Keys in between the alfanum. keys (left) and numeric keypad (right):
PageUp KP_Divide
PageDown <defunct>
Home <defunct>
End Meta_L
Left Left
Right Break
Up <defunct>
Down Meta_R
Furthermore, the R-control key stopped producing the control-key and I
remapped them to several others, e.g., I had to do:
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 105 = Control_R'
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'add Control = Control_R'
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'add Control = Control_L'
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 104 = KP_Enter'
We have tried to change the kbd layout from us to nl (dutch) using
setxkbmap -layout nl
but that showed a completely different mapping, but still incorrect. Here is
the contents of my xorg.conf keyboard section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "AutoRepeat" "300 30"
EndSection
and here it's interesting to note that the autorepeat setting that worked
before August 23rd apparently is now not recognized anymore (I reactivate it
again after starting an X session using
/usr/bin/xset r rate 350 30
That works, but again: autorepeat used to be recognized from xorg.conf before
august 23rd.
So, what might have gone wrong here?
