** Description changed:
Binary package hint: scim
After upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty, I cannot input accented letters with
AltGr. Before upgrading, everything worked fine.
On the logon screen, when SCIM is not running, accented letters work.
In gedit, when choosing XIM from pop-up menu, they don't.
SCIM version: 1.4.7-3ubuntu12
Keyboad layout set in Gnome: Polish (default)
xev output when pressing AltGr:
KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x400001,
root 0xab, subw 0x0, time 27047318, (46,83), root:(50,154),
state 0x0, keycode 108 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 92
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x400001,
root 0xab, subw 0x0, time 27047460, (46,83), root:(50,154),
state 0x88, keycode 108 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen
YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 92
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
some other stuff:
$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "pl", "",
"lv3:ralt_switch,grp:shifts_toggle,kpdl:dotoss,compose:lwin"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc101", "pl,ru,gr", ",phonetic,",
"grp:shifts_toggle,kpdl:dotoss,lv3:ralt_switch,compose:lwin"
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
layouts = [pl,ru phonetic,gr]
options = [grp grp:shifts_toggle,kpdl kpdl:dotoss,lv3
lv3:ralt_switch,Compose key compose:lwin]
model = pc101
I noticed that if I don't set "nodeadkeys" during "sudo dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg", I can use AltGr to produce dead keys
(example: AltGr+; a -> á, while LWin+; a -> ą) Although "pl" keyboard layout
defines many dead keys, I can get only those from punctuation marks.
I ran cat in gnome-terminal and typed: AltGr+QWERTYUIOP Enter AltGr+ASDFGHJKL
Enter AltGr+ZXCVBNM
I got:
^...@^[ł^[ę^[¶^[ŧ^[←^[↓^[→^[ó^[þ
^[ą^[ś^[ð^[đ^[ŋ^[ħ^[j^[ĸ^[ł
^[ż^[ź^[ć^[“^[”^[ń^[µ
These are correct symbols, although each of them is as if they were typed
with LAlt down. I cat'ed the same thing to a file and opened it with hexedit:
00000000 1B 40 1B C5 82 1B C4 99 1B C2 B6 1B C5 A7 1B E2
....@..............
00000010 86 90 1B E2 86 93 1B E2 86 92 1B C3 B3 1B C3 BE
................
etc.
I also tested xev with AltGr+letter (in the following example, AltGr+L):
KeyPress event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x600001,
root 0xab, subw 0x0, time 40608841, (408,231), root:(412,302),

state 0x88, keycode 46 (keysym 0x1b3, lstroke), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 25
XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c5 82) "ł"
XmbLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c5 82) "ł"
XFilterEvent returns: False

state 0x88, keycode 108 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen
YES,

XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Lookupstrings above are correct.
+
+ I retried was I did with gnome-terminal with xterm and I got:
+
+ Àłę¶ŧ←↓→óþ
+ ąśðđŋħêĸł
+ żźć“”ńµ
+
+ AltGr+Q and AltGr+J do no seem to be correct, but the rest is perfect. I
+ cat'ed it to file and got a text file with all the above. It doesn't
+ contain 0x1B bytes, so I think xterm does not interpret accented letters
+ as if they were typed with Alt.
