Compose no longer works
Hmmm seems my compose key no longer works. I have these lines in XF86Config-4: Option LeftAlt Meta Option RightAlt ModeShift Option RightCtl Compose Option ScrollLockModeLock It used to work fine until the last upgrade And I can activate it back (albeit on a different key) with the following xmodmap command: keycode 0x75 = Multi_key Now, after all this rant, my question is: did something change in the defaults of 4.0.3 with respect to the previous versions, concerning keyboard options? I couldn't find anything relevant in thre changelogs for xfree86-common, and I wouldn't know where else to look Pf -- --- Pierfrancesco Caci | ik5pvx | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://gusp.dyndns.org Firenze - Italia | Office for the Complication of Otherwise Simple Affairs Linux penny 2.4.3 #1 Sat Mar 31 14:03:42 CEST 2001 i686 unknown
keyboard options for an Ultra10
Hi I need help configuring the keyboard on a Sun Ultra10. The keyboard is a type 6, for which there is no corresponding file, but I'd assume that type 5 could be a reasonable subset. The problem is that I don't know how to correctly set the option in XF86Config.
