I am still not sure what the problem is you encounter. Please answer these questions: - After the problem appears, can you still focus a window by moving the mouse ofer it or by clicking on its title? - If yes, can you type into that newly focused window? - Do your fvwm keyboard shortcuts still work? - Can you still move windows with the mouse? Are you saying that you can't focus a win > _______________________________________________________________ > || When no window has focus, the keyboard layout must be US. || > --------------------------------------------------------------- And if it isn't? What exactly happens then? > As for the FAQ 5.5 - I don't understand that :-( My point was: if its only fvwm internal bindings that do not work this may be caused by some modifier keys like num-lock changing state when the keymap is changed. Toggling that key again would help in this case. But with your explanations above I don't think that is your problem. > I use a non-standard keyboard layout - my friend Yeti has made > a rpm package so I send that as an attachment. Um, can you just send the files in a tar.gz? I don't like to install rpm packages on my system because I can't control where they end up. Also, please post your fvwm config file. > But I don't think it is the source of problem. I don't think it's the source of the problem either, but I need it to reproduce the problem. > Please tell me, what more diagnostics should I do. > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > > The only way to restore the state is to toggle the keyboard to US. > > > After that it is also possible to toggle it to Czech again and > > > fvwm starts working properly.
