Xmodmap file used
There were some 'issues' with xkb all along the latter months of XFree86 4.2.99.x, but all known issues were fixed prior to the final release. Please test 4.3.0-2.1 from ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/unstable and update me if it fixes it for ya. I can kill the X server using CTRL-ALT-BS in a fresh Red Hat Linux install on an Intel Northwood system with an i865 chipset. I believe the problem was fixed between Phoebe beta 3 and the final release. If the problem still occurs for you with RHL 9, please reopen. Thanks. I have identified that the problem is with the Xmodmap file -- unlike previous versions of XFree86, the current XFree86 seems to require explicit Xmodmap entries for the zap functions. It claims they are synthesized if not present, but that doesn't actually seem to be the case. Adding the relevant XF86_* entries to the Xmodmap file resolved the issue. Ok, thanks for the update hpa. |
