Re: Xorg 7.4 Keyboard Problem! Bug?

Does

Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"

in ServerFlags section help if you disabled hotplugging?
What is

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep WW

?

I just wanted to thank you for allowing me to launch KDE :-) This solved my main problem with xorg (Compaq Presario C700).

Re: Xorg 7.4 Keyboard Problem! Bug?

I, at last, put the hotplugging off. guess this stuff is a bit lazy, and no gets significant improvements for me, let this thing get a little time to mature

I agree with that sentiment Seems like there are very few people with a knowledge beyond 'this-worked-for-me' at the moment. And if you haven't got a collection of seven-buttoned mice and hebrew-lettered keyboards, hotplugging's not all that interesting (well, from a functional view point, anyway - from the knowing-what-makes-your-computer-tick viewpoint every improvement's interesting, obviously)

I say disable and return in a few months time to leech off other people's learning-from-their-mistakes....

Re: Xorg 7.4 Keyboard Problem! Bug?

I do have that problem too... but only since this afternoon. I did not upgraded anything. It might just be because I changed some config...

Re: Xorg 7.4 Keyboard Problem! Bug?

Same problem after upgrade to XOrg 1.5.
When i press Up arrow key, "Save Screen" dialog appears, when press "End", Panel menu popups, But, on menu popup or on GDM, press up arrow is correct, I think is is a gnome bug?

Section "ServerFlags"
     Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection

to xorg.conf and it solved it for me.

Re: Xorg 7.4 Keyboard Problem! Bug?

Thats more a hack than a solution... It disable hotplug input, so you need a valid entry in xorg.conf.
Its sad to disable completly this just because of a couple of bad keys...

Re: Xorg 7.4 Keyboard Problem! Bug?

Yeah its a pain... I wanted to keep hotplug, so the only way is to add a keyboard layout chooser in your DE... So in XFCE you need an applet, which is space wasting....

Re: Xorg 7.4 Keyboard Problem! Bug?

Quick heads up for those who don't know: The bug has been fixed, though I don't know if the Xorg update has already been put into the official Arch repo.

Re: Xorg 7.4 Keyboard Problem! Bug?

I have a problem with my Logitech Media Keyboard 600 and the new Xorg. If I press the "mute" key or the volume selector, xev show me this output:

FocusOut event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

FocusIn event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor

KeymapNotify event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  2   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0

instead of the usually:

KeyPress event, serial 43, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    root 0x1a6, subw 0x0, time 100730889, (-62,216), root:(549,647),
    state 0x10, keycode 172 (keysym 0x1008ff14, XF86AudioPlay), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 43, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    root 0x1a6, subw 0x0, time 100731017, (-62,216), root:(549,647),
    state 0x10, keycode 172 (keysym 0x1008ff14, XF86AudioPlay), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

How can I fix this?

Re: Xorg 7.4 Keyboard Problem! Bug?

It is a gnome bug, deleting .gconf .gconfd .gnome2 .gnome2_private resolved all problems (up arrow and numeric pad)
sure not all of the    folders needs to be erased, but I do not know exactly witch one.

I've erased all but nothing happens. I logout from my user. Should I have to restart X? BTW, I use XFCE4...

Re: Xorg 7.4 Keyboard Problem! Bug?

Finally got this working for me after a lot of searching.

Similar to the Gnome/KDE/Openbox fix, and I guess related to the "just mv your .Xmodmap aside" hack, so YMMV. I use dvorak, switched with a line in my .xinitrc; all I had to do* was explicitly state that I wanted to use evdev:

setxkbmap us dvorak -model evdev

*y'know, aside from the required google-fu and lots of trying to use man without arrow keys

Re: Xorg 7.4 Keyboard Problem! Bug?

Hello all!

just an FYI.  I discovered, for me, this problem was a KDE 4.1 bug (unsure if it still exists in 4.2) with the KDE 4 config: kaccessrc.  From Geekystuffdot net:

I googled and discovered the problem was in my ~/.kde/share/config/kaccessrc file. The SlowKeys attribute was set to true (SlowKeys=true). I set the attribute to false (SlowKeys=false) and all is well once again.

Dada!

Should we create a bug in bugs.archlinux.org? I haven't seen this problem in any other distribution.
