I've had something like that happen frequently with the Windows key--not distro specific or even O/S specific, I've had it happen in FreeBSD as well. I have an .xmodmaprc file and run xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc before X boots, which solved the Windows key (Mod4) for me. You could try making one. Alt_L is 64 and Alt_R is 113, so you could try a ~/.xmodmaprc of keycode 64 =Alt_L keycode 113 =Alt_R Then, when the problem starts occuring try running xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc and see if it fixes the issue. (It probably won't in the open terminal or other application, but hopefully will take effect for any opened after that. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Willow: Why couldn't he be possessed by a puppy, or some ducks? -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
