Another thing I've had happen is for the Mod4 key (the Windows key) although being shown in xmodmap, stop working. It hasn't happened to me for awhile though. I have an xmodmaprc that reads keycode 115 = Super_L add Mod4 = Super_L keycode 117 = Multi_key keycode 50 = Shift_L Sometimes, it seems that running xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc will fix it. That always fixes the Mod4, but doesn't always work with the shift. It's happened on more than one machine for me, but hasn't seemed Fedora specific. Various other flavors of Linux, as well as FreeBSD, would also do it. If I got out of X, the shift key would work again, so I don't think it's my keyboard. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Dracula: Very impressive hunt.
