Package: keyboard-configuration Version: 1.69 Severity: important Tags: sid
The problem basicly is that when pressing any of the modifier keys they do not 'modify' the keys pressed simultaneusly with them. Having wondered around looking for the solution I ended up finding out that when I press any of the modifiers the next key-press cancels them. This does not happen when pressing any other two keys simulatneusly - they do result in two signals being send with out canceling each other, what excludes the possibility of my keyboard not supporting multiple keypresses. Anyhow having found a couple threads on the following forums regarding the problem and not finding a satisfying solution I wanted to find a solution that actually works. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1355660 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1368160 I thought of some possibilities of the causes of the problems, however I cannot really solve these by myself : 1. Bug in keymap - I've got no idea what type of a bug could produce such effect but it might be possible. 2. Kernel misinterpretation - it might be a problem with the kernel interpreting the key pressed on the keyboard and thus making the modifiers malfunction. 3.Bluetooth adapter controller *bluez - this is highly unlikely as I have tried another bluetooth keyboard on this system and there was no problem using it - all modifiers worked perfectly. (both of these connect perfectly and all keys accept the modifiers work normally) 4. Microsoft based hardware - as there is no problem using the keyboard on either Win Xp or the 7 there might be a special code written for correctly interpreting the key presses of the modifiers. The problem is that even after "disabling" the modifier by a key press and then letting off the modifier no code in xev is generated. This excludes the possibility of writing a small code that would enable and disable the modifiers properly. In the threads I mentioned almost all the data is there if anything is needed please let me know. I don't however have a rocketfish keyboard but a Lenovo A300-K BT Keyboard I hope there is a possibility of finding a fix/solution for that other than sticky keys because they just get on my nerves really badly all the time. Any help would be really appreciated. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid System: Aptosid 2011-01 "Γῆρας" APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37-1.slh.1-aptosid-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages keyboard-configuration depends on: ii debconf 1.5.38 Debian configuration management sy keyboard-configuration recommends no packages. keyboard-configuration suggests no packages. -- debconf information: keyboard-configuration/layout: keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap: us * keyboard-configuration/variant: USA debian-installer/console-setup-udeb/title: keyboard-configuration/unsupported_options: true keyboard-configuration/ctrl_alt_bksp: false keyboard-configuration/variantcode: keyboard-configuration/other: keyboard-configuration/optionscode: lv3:ralt_switch,compose:lwin keyboard-configuration/modelcode: pc105 keyboard-configuration/unsupported_config_options: true keyboard-configuration/unsupported_config_layout: true keyboard-configuration/toggle: No toggling keyboard-configuration/compose: Left Logo key keyboard-configuration/switch: No temporary switch keyboard-configuration/altgr: Right Alt (AltGr) keyboard-configuration/unsupported_layout: true * keyboard-configuration/model: Generic 105-key (Intl) PC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
