Also, Fn+F3 is supposed to lock my screen. It doesn't. :( Metacity doesn't know how to handle keys without keysyms. Would need fixing upstream... I have put this into /etc/X11/Xmodmap: keycode 234 = XF86Back keycode 233 = XF86Forward keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev keycode 227 = XF86LaunchF keycode 249 = XF86ZoomIn Additionally to the back and forth buttons this also assigns keysyms to some Fn-key combinations (Fn+arrow keys, holding Fn key, Fn+Space). This is the keymap I use on my Thinkpad T60. Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. I still need the mentioned workaround on F-8. In rawhide, the keys are XF86Back and XF86Forward. They can be mapped normally. In addition, Firefox 3 by default uses them for back/forward. This requires no mapping. Based on comment #5 I am moving this to F8. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Description of problem: I'm trying to get my Thinkpad's back/forward buttons to switch workspaces. I can set "Switch to workspace on the {left,right}" - they get set to 0xea and 0xe9 respectively, but when I try to use those keys, nothing actually happens. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): control-center-2.14.2-1 How reproducible: Always Additional info: xev says the back key is keycode 234, and the forward keycode is 233.
