Mike> I didn't yet notice problems with backslash, underscore, Mike> right bracket, and right brace keys. How can I reproduce Mike> that? What I did was cvs update; make World; make install; # restart the X server What might inhibit reproduction (that I know of): You need to configure so that the contents of the xkbcomp directories overwrite your /etc/X11/xkb tree (not recommended if you've got work to do) or otherwise are the ones that xkbcomp picks up when the X server calls it (I don't know how to do that, I live dangerously :) You need hardware/console driver that sends keycode 51 for the rightbracket/rightbrace key (on jp106 layouts, physically that's AC12) and 211 for the backslash underscore key (AB11). I've only done this so far on my sacrificial host, a Gateway 2000 "3350" (B5 format notebook). The copper, plastic, and rotational speed of the CPU fan shouldn't matter, but then with X11 you never know.:-/ -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
