I now doubt that. My current xephyr session was running for an hour without an instance of this error message spewed to the console when the CAPITAL LETTERS BEGAN TO SHOW UP AGAIN. Could you try with xserver-xephyr 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-7 which has been uploaded to unstable today? It contains a fix for special key behavior in Xephyr, it might help for your problem too.

I started an empty xephyr and then started iceweasel from a shell with DISPLAY set to the xephyr. I did not even have a window manager, and the issue showed up. Any idea how to temporarily fix this without restarting the session? Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

Bug#425662: xserver-xephyr: gets keyboard shift functions mixed up
Package: xserver-xephyr Version: 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-5 Severity: normal Hi, I am using the command line Xephyr -query localhost :1 -ac -screen 1200x900 to start a second KDE session under a second account. It frequently happens that the keyboard gets mixed up in a way that a normal character key emits a capital letter while a shifted character key emits a lower case letter. Special character keys work normally, and all the caps lock / shift lock key does it switching the keyboard light on and off. There seems to be no way to get out of this (at least I haven't found it yet) without terminating Xephyr. This might be corelated with the error message The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: Warning: Type ONE_LEVEL has 1 levels, but RALT has 2 symbols Ignoring extra symbols Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server that Xephyr spews to the console once in a while.

If you start an empty session in Xephyr, is the keyboard layout behaving as in an empty session in X? Do you have other keyboard settings, such as xmodmap in .xsession?

In my main KDE session, keyboard layout changing works fine. If you start an empty session in Xephyr, is the keyboard layout behaving as in an empty session in X? The phenomenon happens only after working in the Xephyrized X session for a while, so it will be hard to simulate it without KDE Do you have other keyboard settings, such as xmodmap in .xsession? Not that I am aware of. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.
