After upgrading to XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50, I've noticed two
annoying changes for which I don't have any explanation:
- the '' key does not work
- I've got to run `setxkbmap de` manually.
I've just re-installed 4.3.0-47, and everything is fine again
(except from the occasional emacs crashes ;-)).
As for the '' key: xev reports:
KeyPress event, serial 17, synthetic NO, window 0xa1,
root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 234144937, (34,7), root:(464,541),
state 0x10, keycode 94 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
I'd guess XLookupString should yield (as in 4.3.0-47), but I've
no idea how to fix that
As for the german keyboard setting:
In my .profile I have the lines
if [ ! -z $DISPLAY ]; then
setxkbmap de
fi
...which seems to be sufficient with 4.3.0-47 to get a german keyboard
layout. With 4.3.0-50, I need to run setxkbmap de again(?) from the
command line to get german layout. Still without the '' key, that
is.
I guess both issues are related and I'd just have to re-install one of
the packages. Though downgrading to 4.3.0-47 apparently solves both
problems, I would be grateful for hints about how to fix things in
4.3.0-50
