Everything was fine with FC5 on this very PC. Can this bug be related to my keyboard model which is a cheap BTC hardware? strange, i cannot reproduce this problem with current KDE from FC6 update. <Windows> + R works fine here. Could you please try with a fresh created user? Please attach the output of "rpm -qa | grep kde". Thanks Created attachment 142316 [details]
FC6 install log
Reproducible: always.
Install FC6 the way I've installed it. Read the rest of instructions in the
README file.
:-(
Could you please update to new kde-3.5.5 from FC6 update and try again. If it still does not work, it's something broken with your keyboard. I have tested several keyboards and did not see the problem! Fedora Core 5 *works* fine on this very PC, also when I run FC5 as a guest of FC6(!) in VMWare then keyboard in the guest works flawlessly. Ngo, have you tried installing FC6 the way I suggested? From your answer I can conclude that you haven't. yes, i have installed FC5/FC6/RHEL5 amd tried to reproduce the bug. I cannot not reproduce the problem! Created attachment 143489 [details]
xev and .config
After some investigation I've understood that my custom kernel is to be blamed
for such a behavior. Somehow it's very strange because with the same kernel
.config-uration FC5 worked fine.
Under two kernels: Fedora Core's one and mine xorg xev application generates
different output.
My kernel configuration is attached. I don't use initrd, some of my /dev
entries were fulfilled in the recovery mode.
I hope it may help to solve my bug.

my .config for vanilla kernel 2.6.23
This bug is still here (Fedora 7, KDE 3.5.8 and kernel 2.6.23).
This bug is now reproducible with the _default_ Fedora 8 packages and all updates applied. I'm purely wrathful! Works perfectly for me under F8, even with russian keyboard I can reproduce this bug right now (*all* F8 updates installed):
uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 #1 SMP Fri Dec 7 15:49:59 EST 2007
i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
This is my xorg.conf keyboard section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
Option "XkbVariant" ",winkeys"
EndSection
Sorry, that's been a false alarm. Everything indeed works. :'-( But with the vanilla kernel I still can reproduce this bug. In Fedora 10 I cannot reproduce this bug any longer. |
Description of problem: Win + <somekey> (global) shortcuts don't work in KDE. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.5.4 How reproducible: Run KDE Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Control Center -> Regional and Accessibility -> Keyboard Shortcuts 2. Select Windows Scheme with Win Key -> hit Apply 3. Try to use any global shortcut with Win key Actual results: Nothing happens, KDE ignores all shortcuts with Win key Expected results: Keyboard shortcuts with Win key work. Additional info: Tested on vanilla install of FC6 with all dependencies satisfied. These are keyboard related X.org packages installed: xkeyboard-config libxkbfile xorg-x11-xkb-utils When you try to assign a key combination with Win key to any Action, e.g. <Win> + <R> for "Run a Command" then only "R" gets entered. Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru(winkeys)" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" Option "Xleds" "1 2 3" EndSection No action has been taken on the X.org side, it looks like their bugzilla is malfunctioning or attracts no attention amongst developers.
