After the update there's something wrong with some of my keyboard shortcuts.
For instants the up arrow key brings up take a screen shot while the print screen key don't do anything.

Here are my xorg.conf and 10-x11-input.fdi files.

Re: update X.Org 7.4 shortcut keys messed up in gnome

Yeah, I have the same trouble, my laptop is a compaq f754LA with latinamerican keyboard layout, all keys are fine, else up key, i'm XFCE so, I don't view the gnome-screenshot,  but I can view when it's called, seeing the output of startx.

So, if you get a workaround, please post it here, thanks

see ya

Re: update X.Org 7.4 shortcut keys messed up in gnome

Quote from another thread:

jamtat wrote:

I have similar keyboard issues after pacman -Syu'ing today. My keyboard is already set to evdev-managed. But the up arrow key manages to send the print screen signal (so far as I can tell all other keys are working properly). I can't function with a keyboard like that. No access to bash history and I inadvertently forget when viewing a web page or something and hold down the up arrow key and about 20 print screen dialogs open up. What's the fix if the evdev-managed-keyboard option doesn't help? I want my keyboard back to normal!

Here's what restored my up arrow key to more normal behavior:

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

in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Found that advice in the thread "xserver 1.5 and KDE 4 keymaps - strange behavior".

This is what fixed the up arrow key in my Arch gnome installation.

Hi

Thanks for the suggestion unfortunately it won't work for me.
I should probably have said that Layout defaulted to evdev-managed here, didn't seem to do anything for me.

I too have disabled hotplugging for now. smile

Yes, same here and remember to change evdev-managed under layout as well. smile

Re: update X.Org 7.4 shortcut keys messed up in gnome

I had to readjust keys in keyboard shortcuts now they are replaced by xfree versions so not a real problem

Re: update X.Org 7.4 shortcut keys messed up in gnome

Following https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intre … omments/97, A

$ cd
$ mv .Xmodmap Desktop/
$ gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard

seemed to fix my arrow keys. I'm not sure if these commands can be run while gnome is running, so I logged out of gnome and ran them at the console. If things work, I guess you can remove .Xmodmap.
