Timo, it almost works. I installed a fresh Ubuntu 8.10 with xkb-data package xkb-data_1.3-2ubuntu4.4_all.deb. All updates to date. Indeed there is an evdev config file in the xkb-data. This is very weird... The only way it works is if I switch Preferences-> Appearance-> VisualEffects back and forth between None and Normal/Extra. It doesn't matter if it is set one way or the other... The "up arrow" causing a "PrtScn" happens every time before this is toggled. And after a toggle, "up arrow" works correctly. I also tested on a new user, same behavior. Need to fiddle with the VisualEffects radio button. The toggle of course turns on and off the "double X" graphics (compiz) stuff that I know nothing about. But I wonder if it initializes something in the process giving me what I really asked for? I start up TWM with xinit and things work. This doesn't necessarily seem like an X problem now. Any guidance? Thanks, Scott _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
