Package: xlibs
Version: 4.3.0-7
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #241034
Hi,
I have the same problem, and maybe one piece of information : X also
outputs the following error message (even when simply running X instead
of xinit or startx) :
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error: Meta_L added to symbol map for multiple modifiers
> Using Mod4, ignoring Mod1.
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
I also noticed that AltGr now "cancels" Compose, while it used to work
fine before :
* the previous behaviour was that you could press Compose, then issue a
combination AltGr+<key> (e.g. to get a circumflex accent) and then a
letter and that would combine the symbol with the letter (you got an
accented letter);
* now if you press compose then issue AltGr+<key> you immediately get
the accent.
Note that when you don't use AltGr it works just fine (e.g. Compose
then ' then e gives é).
This is a change since upgrading to 4.3, so it might be linked with the
other problem.
I tried to mess with the files in /etc/X11/xkb with no success.
I hope this helps,
Lionel.
