Package: xserver-xorg-input-kbd Version: 1:1.2.2-3 Followup-For: Bug #374026
Twice in the last couple of days I've experienced the 'Alt' key (or maybe it's 'Meta') getting 'stuck' in the X server. What happens is this: whenever I type something, if it's not a WM-bound key, it is inserted as-is, however, when I press something like 'space' or 'w', the WM interprets it as a WM command (i.e. just as if Alt+Space or Alt+W was pressed). For the mouse it's the same: clicking with the mouse results in the start of a window dragging operation. I've tried restarting Metacity but that didn't fix anything. I started vmware (which was tricky in itself since the 'w' in 'vmware' closes the terminal window since alt+w is mapped to 'close window...), and Alt was NOT pressed in the virtual Windows box. However, after un-grabbing the mouse, the problem persisted in X. I'm using GNOME, and the keyboard is a Microsoft Natural 4000. I'm happy to provide more information when requested. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23.12 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xserver-xorg-input-kbd depends on: ii libc6 2.7-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1 Xorg X server - core server xserver-xorg-input-kbd recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
