From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: Phoebe no longer runs gnome-panel-screenshot when you hit the Print-Screen button like it worked in Red Hat 8.0. The following info may or may not be related to this problem, but it does describe some strange behavior of the gnome-keybinding-properties tool that should be fixed later. Havoc mentioned testing the "Keyboard Shortcuts" in the "Preferences" menu because this may be some keymapping issue. The default settings there are: Take a screen shot: Print Take a screen shot of window: <Alt>Print If you change the first option to most other keys it works fine. If you attempt to set it to "Print" when it is already "Print", it displays a confusing error message, "That accelerator key is already in use by: /apps/panel/global/screenshot_key" If you change the second option there is no way to change it back to <Alt>Print, instead becomes <Alt>SysRq. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Phoebe How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Hit Print Screen button Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: It should run gnome-panel-screenshot.

$ xmodmap -pke | grep Print keycode 92 = Print Sys_Req keycode 111 = Print Sys_Req why twice?
Instead of filing a bug, I will just latch onto this one :)
Am told fix is in gingin Beta4.
What was the fix? I didn't fix it... can I close the bug?
Prnt Scrn and <Alt>-PrntScrn still don't work in Red Hat 8.0.93 (Phoebe2).

On my 8.0.93 system, only keycode 111 shows up (same as on 8.0) but it still does not work.
Conclusion of analysis here is that part of Owen's X patch was lost. The following needs to be deleted from all keymaps: key <SYRQ> { type= "PC_SYSRQ", symbols[Group1]= [ Print, Sys_Req ] };
Should be fixed in XFree86-4.2.99.901-20030209.0 in rawhide. Please test and close RAWHIDE if it works, or ASSIGNED if not. Changing bug to MODIFIED state.
Still not fixed here. I have two entries for Print Sys_Req. This keyoard also has pgup/pause, pgdn/break, home/scroll, end/numlk, insert/prtsc, and delete/sysrq. Is this the normal grouping for these keys for everyone? I'm using XFree86-4.2.99.901-20030206.0
Bouncing this back to Assigned, as there still appear to be some issues.
Seems to work OK for me - XFree86 4.2.99.901-20030209.1 from rawhide.
