   Summary: symbol for EAK print keys and PrintScreen is the
 same Product: XFree86 Server
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
  Severity: minor
  Priority: P2
 Component: XKB
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


[4.3.99.902]

Symbol for many Easy Access Keyboard's print key is defined as
 Print, for example in 1207th line of xkb/symbols/inet:
key FK17  {   [ Print ]   };  // F7

whereas in xkb/symbols/pc/pc there is
key PRSC {

type= PC_SYSRQ,

symbols[Group1]= [ Print, Sys_Req ]

};


It leads to situation where two physical keys are mapped to the same
 logical symbol, which makes it unable to bind them independently.

I suggest to remap all Print keys in xkb/symbols/inet to another
 symbol. If there is no standard symbol like this, it should be
 XF86Print, or something similar. (I'm not sure whether there is a
 specific table for symbols, or a symbol could be just any atom.)

I could supply a patch if the bug is agreed to be a problem and the
 solution to be acceptable.

I can find, the only name I found missing of someone who contributed
patches of substantial size to the IPv6 code was Fabio Massimo Di Nitto 
([EMAIL PROTECTED]).  Lots of help in reviewing and responding to the
comments received during the X.org public review was given by the members
of the X.org Architecture Task Force, most notably Paul Anderson and
Howard Greenwell.
