Suse keymapping problem
I just did a fresh install of Suse 11.1 Gnome. The only changes made are updating and I installed Thunderbird. I have the default US keyboard. The up arrow now for some reason opens up a "Print Screen" window. I discovered it while in terminal and hitting the up arrow to go back in commands, but it has the same result no matter where I am. This only happens in Suse.
Further investigation: Prtscn or alt-Prtscn is replaced by up-arrow and alt-up-arrow. Prtscn doesn't work at all. I've checked the keyboard shortcuts and the Take a screenshot and Take a screenshot of a window are Print and alt-Print as they should be. Anybody????? |
It sound as if the keycodes are wrong. Look at
/usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evedv It should contain the lines <PRSC> = 107; <UP> = 111; If these scan-codes are assigned the wrong way round, there's your problem. |

Even within this message up arrow gives prtscn. It was fine immediately after the install. There were two updates. After the first one I think it was still OK, but after the second and larger update the problem started. This is really very strange. Never seen anything like this before. |
