According to my last mail below. I try to verify that the problem only occur in XFree4.3.0 by re-installing Xfree-4.2.0 (rpm from RH8.0) on my RH9 (with --nodeps --force). The problem goes away (I test with WindowMaker), but I face more serious problem.
After install XFree4.3.0 back. My keyboard is gone. Pressing ANY key result in "Ctrl-Alt-+" liked behavior, the screen keep switching the resolution no matter what key I press. Disabling XKB in XF86Config fix this odd. I try to remove all /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb, $HOME/.[xX]* and re-install XFree86-4.3.0 again but the problem persist. What have I done wrong? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Somsak Sriprayoonsakul High Performance Computing and Networking Center Kasetsart University [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Somsak Sriprayoonsakul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 1:06 PM Subject: [XFree86] Odd behavior in Keyboard switching and CTRL modifier > Sorry if this is a re-post of the problem. > > I am using RedHat 9 + XFree4.3.0-2 + KDE 3.1-13 shipped with RH9. > > After upgrading my system (RedHat 8.0) to RedHat9.
