Bug#425662: Reopened #425662
The way I'm using Xephyr is as follows (this has been the only way to get my german keyboard configured properly): 1. Open Xephyr: Xephyr -keybd ephyr,,,xkbmodel=evdev,xkblayout=de -ac -reset -screen 1672x1022 -retro :10 2. Store xmodmap and launch a new terminal in Xephyr: xmodmap -pke /tmp/my_modmap ; DISPLAY=:10 nohup terminator -e xmodmap /tmp/my_modmap; bash (* for details about terminator, see footer of this message) 3. Start a gnome-session in the terminal opened in 2.: gnome-session I found an easier way to open Xephyr with the keyboard properly configured that I'm using now: Xephyr -keybd ephyr,,,xkbmodel=pc105,xkblayout=de,xkbrules=evdev,xkboption=grp:alts_toogle -ac -reset -screen 1672x1022 -retro :10 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#425662: Reopened #425662
Package: xserver-xephyr Version: 2:1.9.5-1 I have experienced the same problem. I'm using Xephyr since yesterday and it's the first time it happens. I don't know if it is easily reproducible. The way I'm using Xephyr is as follows (this has been the only way to get my german keyboard configured properly): 1. Open Xephyr: Xephyr -keybd ephyr,,,xkbmodel=evdev,xkblayout=de -ac -reset -screen 1672x1022 -retro :10 2. Store xmodmap and launch a new terminal in Xephyr: xmodmap -pke /tmp/my_modmap ; DISPLAY=:10 nohup terminator -e xmodmap /tmp/my_modmap; bash (* for details about terminator, see footer of this message) 3. Start a gnome-session in the terminal opened in 2.: gnome-session I'm using a USB keyboard attached to the notebook where the session is hosted. In Xephyr I'm launching a gnome-session. I have tried to fix the problem unsuccessfully resetting the keyboard according to https://experts.missouristate.edu/display/csvhelpdesk/Reset+Keyboard+Map I also have tried to fix the problem (also unsuccessfully) changing: o Keyboard model (from Generic/Evdev-managed to Generic/Generic 105-key) o Keyboard layout o Keyboard Layout Options/CapsLock key behavior with the Keyboard Indicator 2.28.0 applet for GNOME. The keyboard works properly after closing the gnome-session and the x-terminal opened in 2, and reopening a new x-terminal.
