Hello,
The Internet suggests performing
xdotool key XF86LogGrabInfo
in order to list grabs that are currently running on the server, however it
outputs
(symbol) No such key name 'XF86LogGrabInfo'. Ignoring it.
(symbol) No such key name 'XF86LogGrabInfo'. Ignoring it.
and does not print anything to the log file. I ran it through a debugger and it
seems like it's failing because XStringToKeysym is returning NoSymbol when
passed "XF86LogGrabInfo", as illustrated by the following code:
0 thinkpad$ cat m.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
int main() {
Display *dpy = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
if (dpy == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "XOpenDisplay failed.\n");
exit (1);
}
KeySym ksym = XStringToKeysym("XF86LogGrabInfo");
printf("Keysym: %lu\n", (unsigned long)ksym);
XCloseDisplay(dpy);
}
0 thinkpad$ cat Makefile
a.out: m.c
cc -I/usr/X11R7/include -L/usr/X11R7/lib m.c -lX11 -Wl,-R/usr/X11R7/lib
0 thinkpad$ make
cc -I/usr/X11R7/include -L/usr/X11R7/lib m.c -lX11 -Wl,-R/usr/X11R7/lib
0 thinkpad$ ./a.out
Keysym: 0
0 thinkpad$
Considering that many other people used xdotool in this manner successfully, I
suspect that either NetBSD has a bug here or there is some trick to make this
work. As suggested in
https://who-t.blogspot.com/2012/01/xkb-breaking-grabs-cve-2012-0064.html I ran
setxkbmap -option grab:break_actions
and also
setxkbmap -option grab:debug
and although these settings were reflected in the output of setxkbmap -query,
they did not solve the problem.
Is there some trick to enabling this functionality or should I file a problem
report?
Thanks!
