Actually i think i have found a fix, i have a pavilion hp laptop
using xev, i found in laptop print screen button is key 218
"KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x5600001,
root 0xb1, subw 0x0, time 3380983, (57,-5), root:(57,542),
state 0x0, keycode 218 (keysym 0xff61, Print), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 107
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False"
Using my desktop computer, and another laptop (not hp) i found that key
normally is key 107 not 218
"KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
root 0xaa, subw 0x0, time 4327134, (67,-10), root:(67,797),
state 0x0, keycode 107 (keysym 0xff61, Print), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False"
I think is some rare hp keyboard implementation
command "xmodmap -e "keycode 107 = Sys_Req" returns:
keycode 107 = Print Sys_Req Print Sys_Req
keycode 218 = Print NoSymbol Print
i tried removing key 107 as print using " xmodmap -e "keycode 107 = Sys_Req "
command "xmodmap -e "keycode 107 = Sys_Req" now returns:
keycode 218 = Print NoSymbol Print
after that the key started working for me
( later i have restored the original, key 107 config, and print screen
still works... ?¿?)
