Do you run xmodmap or setxkbmap on session startup? What's the output of 'xprop -root _XKB_RULES_NAMES' in your session? Can you attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of 'xkbcomp :0 -'? Does 'setxkbmap -rules evdev' fix your KP keys? Thanks, Julien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
