Hello,
I am trying RedHat's latest beta which includes XFree 4.2.99.3 and there
is a bug in the xkb code. I cannot configure a proper French Canadian
keyboard. When specifying ca_enhanced in the XF86Config file, some
keys on the keyboard are not mapped properly.
I should apologize I

Err, I think is just found another problem, forgive me if it is a known

They are 'old layouts'.

The linux-ppc kernel has an option (CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES) to use the old

Well, I described how it worked on mechanical typewriters; just having

Well, I used to like that behaviour of typewriter capslock (with shift

being a shift lock in fact)
Unfortunately I can't imagine how to make such mode (affects all keys but
Shift cancels Caps ) in XKB.
I tested it and

I'm working on a virtual keyboard for disabled people and I have some

Hi,
Sorry for such long delay.
The abnt2 keyboard has a comma and a dot in the keypad. The dot is generating
the KP_Decimal keysym but the comma is generating the comma keysym. This make
both comas use the same keysym. It appears to me that the KP_Separator should
be generated.
Yes, I see the pattern you mention in XID. Appears
that the most significant two bytes identify client
and the least sig two bytes identify window. This
should solve my problem. Thanks very much.
Actually Xserver may divide XID to these two parts in any bit position.
