Re: Xwin freezes when moving window on Solaris 10 host

[sunriseloverr]

Is there any advance about resolution of this bug? I searched the internet.
But as far as i can see, this bug hasn't been fixed. I face the same problem
on Solaris 10 with JDS3.0 for the same xwin version.

When you start XWin.exe, it print something like this, among other things :

(--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "0407" (0407) 
(--) Using preset keyboard for "German (Germany)" (407), type "4"
Rules = "xorg" Model = "pc105" Layout = "de" Variant = "(null)" Options = 
"(null)"
expected keysym, got dead_diaresis: line 143 of pc/de



Try to add this to the XWin.exe command line : -xkbvariant nodeadkeys

David

With xterm and Emacs.  I didn't test other ones.  The xmodmap
command solves the problem for both apps, so I assume that it is a
global X setting.

> Does the keyboard behave differently in Windows ?

Well, it I don't know whether it is a global Windows feature but I
have no dead keys with Wordpad, Cygwin's Bash and PuTTY.

> What keyboard layout do you have set ?

German.

> What does the X server say about it (startup or log messages) ?

What do you mean, the keyboard layout?  I don't know where to look
this up, but German umlauts work as expected.

Tschö,
Torsten.

Re: Eliminating dead keys under X

[xerces8]

Does this problem happens with all X apps or just the one ?
Does the keyboard behave differently in Windows ?

What keyboard layout do you have set ?
What does the X server say about it (startup or log messages) ?

David

Just right click the X icon in the system tray and select "Exit"

Partly.  If I pass

--8<---cut here---start->8---
keycode  21 = acute grave cedilla ogonek cedilla ogonek
keycode  34 = udiaeresis Udiaeresis diaeresis degree diaeresis degree
keycode  35 = plus asterisk asciitilde dead_macron asciitilde dead_macron

keycode  49 = asciicircum degree notsign notsign notsign notsign
keycode  51 = numbersign apostrophe grave breve grave breve
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

as a file to xmodmap, it works.  However, the hint with XF86Config
doesn't help me much.  I found no xorg.conf file on my Cygwin
installation (does this mean that it's broken?) so I created on with

--8<---cut here---start->8---
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Generic Keyboard"
Driver  "kbd"
Option  "CoreKeyboard"
Option  "XkbRules"  "xorg"
Option  "XkbModel"  "pc105"
Option  "XkbLayout" "de"
Option  "XkbVariant""nodeadkeys"
EndSection
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

in /etc, with a copy in /etc/X11.  However, it didn't have any
effect.  An .Xmodmap or .xmodmaprc in my home directory had no
effect either.

Tschö,
Torsten.
