Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 119441
Windows key inoperative
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:39 EST
Description of problem: Upgraded to Fedora Core 2 test2 this morning (Thanks guys!!) The "Windows" key on the keyboard is no longer active (I use icewm and the key was working at Fedora Core 2 test1 yesterday) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Very Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use a window manager that is sensitive to the "Windows" key. 2. Press the Windows key, see menu not open up... 3. Actual results: See menu not open up. Expected results: See menu open up. Additional info: I did NOT perform any new X windows configuration. This is the same config I was using with Fedora Core 2 test1 (which was an upgrade from production Fedora Core 1)
Since I'm looking at other keyboard issues in the xorg release I might as well take this one too.
X is mapping both windows keys, you can verify this by running xev. It's being mapped to the keysym SuperL and SuperR which is the same mapping as in previous releases. I don't use icewm, but using the standard gnome setup I can successsfully bind the windows key. I can find no problem in the xorg-x11 component.
