Hi, I recently compiled XFree86 from CVS (from last week). I was using XFree86 as packaged by RedHat 7.3. After I installed over the RH distribution of XFree86, I noticed that my keyboard shortcut combination for XTerm stopped working. I used to use the key between Alt and Control on the left side on a regular PC 105-key keyboard. I use xbindkeys to handle my shortcuts.
I used xev to try and figure out what the problem was. The first thing I noticed was that X didn't recognize the Windows key. It would generate an event but would come up with NoSymbol. I whipped out xmodmap and added the keycode and Meta_L symbol, but it still didn't work. I checked back with xev and noticed that, unlike the Control, Shift, Alt and CapsLock key, my Meta key would not changed the state flag (or whatever it's called). It would also generate multiple keypress events when depressed and held. How can I get it to function the way it should? Is there some documentation I can read to figure out how keyboard input is handled by XFree86 and learn EVERYTHING there is to know about keyboards and X? I'd like to put a permanent fix in instead of having to call xmodmap from .xinitrc to set the symbols.
