It seems 'xkbset m' and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Numlock both toggle mousekeys on the numpad. I imagine most laptop users wouldn't see this behaviour, due to their integrated Fn+ key numpads. A sideffect for me is that Ins0 Numpad5 and Numpad+ become right click whilst this state is active. 'xev' confirms Pointer_Button3 is registered on those keypresses.
However, I found 'setxkbmap' does fix the "XKB not supported" error, you specify a language for layout. Here's the script I use to make a keyboard button do middle-click paste: #!/bin/bash setxkbmap -layout us xkbset m xkbset exp =m xmodmap -e "keycode 135 = Pointer_Button2" I'd say either features in X or xkbset changed, and 'setxkbmap' is the correct way of using 'xkbset'. -- Ubuntu 8.04.1, xorg 7.3+10ubuntu10.2, xkbset 0.5-5.1 Out of interest, 'xkbset' runs without 'setxkbmap' on Intrepid on my Dell Vostro 1200 laptop with Intel 965 video. I have not tried Intrepid on my desktop with nVidia FX5200 video and Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 keyboard. -- When setting mousekeys, xkbset reports "XKB not supported" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215496 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
