Keyboard issues when building randr++ server etc.

[Colin Guthrie]

Hi,

Hopefully someone here can help be work out a few problems I'm having.

I decided to try the randr++ stuff and build the necessary extra stuff
from git into the prefix /opt/randr++/ in order to keep a stable system
installed and such that I can switch back to it.

Now, once I installed everything I created the following synlinks:
 /opt/randr++/lib64/dri -> /usr/lib64/dri
 /opt/randr++/share/X11/xkb -> /usr/share/X11/xkb

The former was needed to allow the DRI driver to load, and the latter
was an attempt to get a good keymap (not overly successful!).

I edited my xorg.conf to have a ModulePath that included the
/opt/randr++ path before the /usr path which seems successful.

BUT, when I start the server (via gdm.conf setting), I can no longer use
CTRL+ALT to vt switch, and also the 3 SHIFT+3 no longer produces a pound
sign (I've a UK keyboard), but instead just a 3 (same as without SHIFT).

When I xev, I notice the following for when I press ALT:

FocusOut event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3400001,
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

FocusIn event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3400001,
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor

KeymapNotify event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  2   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0

PropertyNotify event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3400001,
    atom 0xd5 (_NET_WM_STATE), time 9745665, state PropertyNewValue



I've attached my Xorg.0.log and my xorg.conf if that helps.

Hopefully someone can help :)

Cheers

Col
