Package: xserver-xorg-input-kbd
Version: 1:1.3.2-3
Severity: normal
Hello. I'm not 100% sure that I'm submitting this bug against the right
package, but figure this is a good place to start. Please feel free to
re-assign.
Sometime between lenny and current sid, the keycode and keysym generated
by the Windows key on my Thinkpad X300 changed. On the same hardware,
if I boot to a lenny installation and run xev, I see the following
output when pressing the windows key:
KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3600001,
root 0x69, subw 0x0, time 50752, (-302,603), root:(610,631),
state 0x0, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3600001,
root 0x69, subw 0x0, time 51048, (-302,603), root:(610,631),
state 0x40, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
On a sid system, the same thing shows the different keysym and keycode
values:
KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001,
root 0xb4, subw 0x0, time 833661, (-348,734), root:(484,759),
state 0x0, keycode 133 (keysym 0xff20, Multi_key), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: True
KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001,
root 0xb4, subw 0x0, time 833901, (-348,734), root:(484,759),
state 0x0, keycode 133 (keysym 0xff20, Multi_key), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
This breaks the ability to use xkb to map useful functionality to the
windows keys (e.g. setxkbmap -option altwin:meta_win)
Please don't hesitate to ask for more info.
