Package: xlibs
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7
Severity: normal
In continuation of my message in bug 256706. As it has been declared
fixed, but I still suffer keyboard problems, I suppose my problem is
_not_ the one of this bug. Behaviour has changed since -6, but is
still not correct.
I have a Microsoft Natural Keyboard, US qwerty. That's a qwerty 104
keys keyboard.
Intended behaviour: Alt keys are Alt, left waving flag key is Meta,
right waving flag key is compose (Multi_key), menu key is menu.
XKB config:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:left_meta_win,compose:rwin"
EndSection
When starting up X, the following behaviour happens:
- Emacs does not recognise Meta as Meta, but recognises Alt as Meta,
which it shouldn't. Note that if I remember well, Emacs
automatically treats Alt as Meta if it thinks the current keymap
does not have a Meta. This might be what is happening.
- TeXmacs recognises Alt as Alt, but not Meta.
- sawfish does not recognise Alt as Alt, but recognises Meta as Meta.
Which makes me very confused as to what could be wrong.
At startup:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xmodmap
xmodmap: up to 5 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_L (0x7d)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Alt_R (0x71), Meta_L (0x73), Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80),
Meta_L (0x9c)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)
Trying to correct it manually:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xmodmap -e 'clear mod1'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xmodmap -e 'add mod1 = 0x73'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xmodmap
xmodmap: up to 5 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 s (0x27)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Alt_R (0x71), Meta_L (0x73), Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80),
Meta_L (0x9c)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)
Oups... It shouldn't say 0x27 for mod1, I said 0x73. Let's try another way:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xmodmap -e 'clear mod1'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xmodmap -e 'add mod1 = Meta_L'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xmodmap
xmodmap: up to 5 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Meta_L (0x73), Meta_L (0x9c)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Alt_R (0x71), Meta_L (0x73), Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80),
Meta_L (0x9c)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)
Not what I asked for.

Hi,
with xkb-data, 'xomdmap -pm' does no more print Alt_R with your
settings, so I believe that this bug has been fixed.
Please reopen if you have still trouble.
Thanks for your report.
Denis
