Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
after upgrading to lucid I had to notice that the kbd driver has been removed so I had to change my /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use the evdev driver for the keyboard: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard_evdev" Driver "evdev" Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" Option "CoreKeyboard" EndSection #Section "InputDevice" # Identifier "Keyboard_kbd" # Driver "kbd" # Option "XkbLayout" "de" # Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" # Option "CoreKeyboard" #EndSection after that my left arrow key stopped working. using xev and xmodmap I found that the key was generating keycode 113 events which were mapped to ISO_Level3_Shift. workaround: xmodmap -e 'keycode 113 = Left' it appears that I am not the only one affected by this: http://benfrantzdale.livejournal.com/262354.html mapped (xmodmap -pke) as ISO_Level3_Shift instead of "Left". as 113 is the standard keycode for "Left" I wonder who messed up with the keyboard mappings. I use the german nodeadkeys layout. ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- arrow-left maps to ISO_Level3_Shift https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/583037 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
