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. noah -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xserver-xorg-input-kbd depends on: ii libc6 2.9-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.6.1-1 Xorg X server - core server xserver-xorg-input-kbd recommends no packages. xserver-xorg-input-kbd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
