Bruce Khereid to Olivier 4:55 PM (18 hours ago) Hi Olivier, Thank you for your quick reply. I did the configuration for the X Server, by adding an option "XkbLayout" in Section "InputDevice" for the keyboard, in xorg.conf. I think that's what you meant by "global X configuration"? Sorry that I entered a wrong option name in the previous mail. What I don't understand is that does FVWM receive original hardware keycode or something translated to letters according to the layout specified in xorg.conf? Sorry but I'm not familiar with X protocol. Thank you! --- Olivier Mehani to me 5:01 PM (18 hours ago) Hi again, Bruce, On Mon, Jul 19, 2010 at 04:55:25PM +0800, Bruce Khereid wrote: > I did the configuration for the X Server, by adding an option "XkbLayout" in > Section "InputDevice" for the keyboard, in xorg.conf.

Yep, that's what I weant by global, which also rules my explanation out. > What I don't understand is that does FVWM receive original hardware keycode > or something translated to letters according to the layout specified in > xorg.conf? Sorry but I'm not familiar with X protocol. I don't either. I'm pretty sure it gets the mapped symbols rather than direct keycodes, but can't explain the behaviour of FVWM... Did you have a llok at the logs (though I'm not sur it will mention anything about sucessful shortcut assignment...)? --- Bruce Khereid to Christoph 11:19 AM (5 minutes ago) Cool! It works now. Thanks to all of you!
