By googling xorg shift numlock (instead of wheezy xorg virtual 
mouse, which gave me no leads), I found a solution to my problem. And I 
learned that you english speakers call it mouse keys, and not virtual 
mouse.


https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=904880

Freedesktop decide to remove this function by default. I was not warned 
by Debconf. And effectively, KDE reactivated it. BTW, I don't understand 
why it work in kdm and sawfish for some users of the Debian User French ML.


To reactivate it, I put this in xorg.conf:

Section InputClass
Identifier  Keyboard Defaults
MatchIsKeyboard yes
Option  XkbLayout fr
Option  XkbVariant bepo7
Option  XkbOptions 
keypad:pointerkeys,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

EndSection

I really struggled with this problem. I think Debconf should warn the 
user, as for the removal of Ctrl+Alt+Backspace shortcut.


Maybe this bug sould be forwarded to the package xkb-data, since it 
seems contain the file in question:


I think the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc is missing a piece.
Changing the following line:
key NMLK { [ Num_Lock ] };
back to as it was in version 2.0.1:
key NMLK { [ Num_Lock, Pointer_EnableKeys ] };
brings back the mousekeys functionality for me.

But I don't know how to redirect a bug, and if I'm allowed to do so.

Thank for your attention,
HDU.

Bug#679613: xorg: Virtual mouse (shift+numlock) stops working after upgrading from squeeze to wheezy

2012-06-30 Thread HDU
Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.7+1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Recently I upgrade my system to wheezy, and Shift + NumLock no longer
activates the virtual mouse (move cursor and click with the numeric keypad).
Google does not help me on this one.

It's a system that was installed with potato and has been upgraded since.
Perhaps there's a file somewhere that shouldn't be here (although I regularly
purge removed packages).

My WM is sawfish. I use a bépo keymap also (french dvorak). I active it from
..xinitrc (and .xsession is a symbolic link to .xinitrc btw). I tested by
commenting this line, Shift + NumLock is still doing nothing. Anyway, neither
the Shift or the NumLock keys are involved in the bépo keymap, AFAIK.

I tested with kde and azerty keymap: yeah, it works! I tested with kde and
bépo keymap, it also works. So it seems it's not my personalized keymap.

I also to be tested under kdm: doesn't work. Under squeeze the virtual mouse
work anywhere in X, even under kdm.

I did my tests by running startx from the console and also from kdm. In all
cases, it doesn't work in sawfish and work under kde.

At firt I thought that the virtual mouse has been disabled or removed in Xorg,
and kde reactive or reimplement it. But then I ask on Debian User French list,
and someone says  that he use wheezy and sawfish (so same configuration than
me), and it work for him...  Any idea what might be wrong for me? The shortcut
has changed? I need to configure something somewhere?

On the suggestion of reportbug, I upgrade xorg package, and also all packages
whose names contain xorg to sid version. Nothing change, the virtual mouse
still not working.

I put it under severity Important, cause I really need this fonctionnality. I
have one screen who doesn't have any mouse. I control it mainly with wireless
keyboard, but still need the virtual mouse for copy/paste and preferences
dialog.

Thanks you :)
HDU.

PS: forgive my poor English, I'm French :p
