Some progress has been made...
I installed (by deleting the previous `/' partition, and keeping the `/home'
one) Ubuntu 9.10 (= Karmic) yesterday.
Today, I tried to get StumpWM back.
First trial: installing the SBCL (1.0.29) suite through the package manager,
and building StumpWM myself. This time, I could get it compiled right.
When launching it, nothing happened. No error, but really nothing visible on
the screen. No active key either.
Note -- In fact, Ctrl-T was active, but I did not get it at that point in
time. I was trying the left Windows key, which is set in my .stumpwmrc,
but with no success.
Tried the easiest solution, then: installing stumpwm (and clisp) through the
package manager of Ubuntu.
Result is: OK. Got StumpWM back (a version of May 2009, not that bad).
Though:
1. The *mode-line-timeout* is not activated every second, contrarily to what's
written in my "dot" file (but I think this was already the case before as
well). So, this is not a new problem.
2. my `F19' key (`Caps_Lock') and `F20' (`Super_L') keys are not working,
whatever I try (setting them "correctly" in my `.xsession' file, or in my
`.Xmodmap' file).
When trying to detect the keycodes with `xev', for what concerns `F20' at
least, it just does not see it...
For `F19', the following code is just useless:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; keyboard layout
(defvar *keyboard-layout* :qwerty-gb)
(run-shell-command "setxkbmap gb && xmodmap -e 'clear lock' -e 'keycode 66 =
F19' -e 'add lock = F19'")
(defcommand toggle-keyboard-layout () ()
(ecase *keyboard-layout*
(:qwerty-gb
(setf *keyboard-layout* :azerty-fr)
(run-shell-command "setxkbmap fr && xmodmap -e 'clear lock' -e 'keycode
66 = F19' -e 'add lock = F19'")
(message "Selected keyboard layout: France"))
(:azerty-fr
(setf *keyboard-layout* :qwerty-gb)
(run-shell-command "setxkbmap gb && xmodmap -e 'clear lock' -e 'keycode
66 = F19' -e 'add lock = F19'")
(message "Selected keyboard layout: United Kingdom"))))
(define-key *root-map* (kbd "F19") "toggle-keyboard-layout")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
3. If I banish the pointer in my "dot" file, then I first am forced to set the
focus with the mouse somewhere on the screen before the prefix key is
working. That's very disturbing, but only occurs at the very first launch
of the session.
4. My own-compiled version of StumpWM does not read my `.stumpwmrc' file, it
seems. Nothing appears on the screen. But, yes, `Ctrl-T' is active, and I
can do whatever I want with it. Working, but not set up as expected.
Any idea?
Best regards,
Seb, very happy to use StumpWM again (even if it's not the cutting-edge
version)
