I'm having a keyboard problem where my less than sign is broken.
The problem is very intriguing.
It only shows up with Xvnc.
It shows up on the last several builds, and I can't imagine
that it was there and I didn't notice it, but maybe ...
I have keycaps on KB that have the usual (less-than/comma)
and (greater-than/period) characters on them.
When I examine the output of xmodmap -pk, I see that
these should map to keycodes 59 and 60:
59 0x002c (comma) 0x003c (less) 0x002c (comma) 0x003c (less)
60 0x002e (period) 0x003e (greater) 0x002e (period) 0x003e (greater)
When I use the xev program, I can see that is true.
Except when I press the comma key with a shift key held down.
It tells me I've hit keycode 94. And shift-94 turns out to
be greater-than.
So basically my less-than key produces greater-than, but all
other keys seem to work fine, including the unshifted behavior
of the same key.
I see an extra line about XKeysymToKeycode in the xev output,
but I have no idea what that signifies.
If anyone has hints for how to debug this next, I'd be grateful.
What utilities should I use to investigate keyboard drivers and
keyboard bindings, as they apply to Xvnc?
Here is the partial output from "xmodmap -pk"
59 0x002c (comma) 0x003c (less) 0x002c (comma) 0x003c (less)
60 0x002e (period) 0x003e (greater) 0x002e (period) 0x003e
(greater)
94 0x003c (less) 0x003e (greater) 0x003c (less) 0x003e
(greater) 0x007c (bar) 0x00a6 (brokenbar)
Here is the output from xev:
greater-than produces:
KeyRelease event, serial 222, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
root 0xfd, subw 0x1c00002, time 4037746580, (34,46), root:(1044,942),
state 0x1, keycode 60 (keysym 0x3e, greater), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3e) ">"
XFilterEvent returns: False
less-than produces:
KeyRelease event, serial 222, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
root 0xfd, subw 0x1c00002, time 4037746190, (34,46), root:(1044,942),
state 0x1, keycode 94 (keysym 0x3e, greater), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 60
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3e) ">"
XFilterEvent returns: False
