[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1243642] Re: .Xmodmap not automatically loaded on start

2013-11-01 Thread Dirk Schuster 
Hi,

Ryan gave me a hint, how to find a workaround without using ~/.Xmodmap.
I describe the solution of my specific problem here, so it might be
helpful for someone with a similar problem.

These links helped a lot:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Howto%3A%20Custom%20keyboard%20layout%20definitions
http://www.charvolant.org/~doug/xkb/html/node5.html

To use the special € and $ keys of the acer laptop in 13.10:

1. add the scancode-to-keycode mappings to /etc/rc.local

# 
setkeycodes e033 240
# 
setkeycodes e034 241

loadkeys /home/user/.acer.map

2. create the keyboard translation table extension in
/home/user/.acer.map containing:

keycode 240 = euro
shift keycode 240 = cent
keycode 241 = dollar
shift keycode 241 = onequarter

3. add the xbd_symbols to the symbol definition file you use, e.g.:
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de

// acer Euro und Dollar Spezialtasten
key   { [  EuroSign,   cent ] };
key   { [dollar, onequarter ] };

4. optional, if you like to see the keys in the graphical represenation of the 
keyboard,
change the appropriate section in the geometry definition file you use, 
e.g. /usr/share/X11/xkb/geometry/pc

section "Editing" {
top= 61;
left= 312;
row {
top= 1;
key.color= "grey20";
keys { , ,  };
};
row {
top= 20;
key.color= "grey20";
keys { , ,  };
};
row {
top= 58;
keys { , { , color= "grey20" } ,  };
};
row {
top= 77;
key.color= "grey20";
keys { , ,  };
};
}; // End of "Editing" section


And now I'm able to switch the keyboard layouts using "gnome-control-center 
region layouts", too, withour "loosing" the € or $ key of the acer laptop again.

cheers Dirk

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1243642] [NEW] .Xmodmap not automatically loaded on start

2013-10-23 Thread Dirk Schuster 
Public bug reported:

I'm using a ~/.Xmodmap file to define two keycode mappings.

13.10 doesn't seem to automatically load this file any more.
13.04 did. (same file, same laptop)

manual execution of "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" works on 13.10!
That means I'm e.g. able to use this key in a terminal or in geany.

I discovered, that by switching the keyboard layouts using "gnome-
control-center region layouts" the mappings of the "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap"
will be lost again. Then another manual execution of "xmodmap
~/.Xmodmap" has to be executed and it works again.

Perhaps the ~/.Xmodmap is loaded and lost by the the gnome-control-
center () later.

Sorry, I can't figure out which packet this bug has to be asigned to. By
using apport-bug "xorg" was choosen, but it could be "xorg-server" or
"gnome-control-center", also.
