Keymap broken
Hi,
I use arch linux with KDEmod 4.1. I have this really wierd problem. My "question mark" and "underscore" don't work. All my other keys seem to work (I have a Finnish keyboard). I've tried different keymaps (Finnish & Swedish) but the problem is the same. Does anybody have any idea why this happens or where I should start looking to find out where the problem is. BFC |

I have a similar problem with my uk keyboard, the arrow keys don't work and insert, delete, home, end, page up and page down don't behave propely. My Xorg.0.log shows:
Code:
(**) Option "CoreKeyboard" Code:
Section "InputDevice" |
Interesting. I had a look at my Xorg logs and I found this:

This obviously has something to do with it. BFC |
Try running setxkbmap -layout fi and setxkbmap -layout se and seeing what it says
|
Nope. Makes no difference. No output whatsoever.

Check the output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. also check what keymaps you have installed (Probably /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty)

What do you get when you run the following:
Code:
xmodmap -pke Code:
xev |
According to xmodmap both questionmark and underscore can be found at "Keycode 61":

"Xev" produces this when I press the questionmark and underscore: Quote:

This is what my Xorg.0.log looks like. I can't post the whole thing since this forum has a limit. But here I think is the relevant stuff: Quote:

I have a Finnish keyboard, too (several, actually) and on none is there a question mark on the minus/underscore button:
Quote:
The way your keyboard works is that when you press the [61st] key you get minus, Shift+[61st] you have the underscore, AltGr+[61st] gives a slash and AltGr+Shift+[61st] gives the question mark. That's indeed weird. What's your keyboard's manufacturer? |
I have a logitech wireless keyboard.

I installed the lastest Xorg 1.5 yesterday. This caused me some problems. Whilst fixing the results I discovered something that could have something to do with my keymap problem.
I use KDE4.1. When the login screen comes up my keyboard works perfectly. I can type in a "question mark" and an "underscore" and they appear. Perfect. However after I have logged in and KDE has started-up the question mark and underscore no longer work. Does anybody know what the problem could be here. How does KDE handle keymaps. BFC |
