Hi Everyone, I use the dvorak layout instead of qwerty. When I upgraded to woody, I set a config setting somewhere (in some config question) selecting dvorak as my default layout. It works great in the console. It even works in X, mostly. So my problem is this: after booting X, netscape reads my backspace key as a delete key instead (deletes the character in front instead of behing the cursor). If I manually switch back to qwerty, then over to dvorak (xmodmap ./xmodmap.std ;xmodmap /etc/X11/dvorak.xmodmap) and restart netscape, the problem goes away. I've got several copies of different keymaps on my system (since I switched from RedHat many moons ago, and didn't want to lose stuff, I've still got a couple copies lying around). [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/X11$ locate xmodmap /etc/X11/dvorak.xmodmap /etc/X11/Xsession.d/40xfree86-common_xmodmap /home/ben/xmodmap.std /usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/xmodmap.std /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xmodmap.dvorak /usr/X11R6/man/man1/xmodmap.1x.gz
The interesting ones are the two xmodmap.std's and the xmodmap.dvorak/dvorak.xmodmap. I would expect that my problem stemmed from small differences in the mapping of the backspace key. But, I don't think that's it: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ diff /home/ben/xmodmap.std /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/xmodmap.std [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ diff /etc/X11/dvorak.xmodmap /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xmodmap.dvorak [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ I had a similar problem back when I was running RedHat. The solution back then was to put the line "keycode 22 = BackSpace" in the xmodmap file. Unfortunately for the problem this time around: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep 22 /home/ben/xmodmap.std keycode 22 = BackSpace [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep 22 /etc/X11/dvorak.xmodmap keycode 22 = BackSpace So where should I go next?
