That is a much more plausible scenario. xkb underwent major changes between 4.2.0 and 4.3.0 of which many things broke. As people reported them to XFree86.org they got fixed rather quickly. Any xkb/keyboard problems that remain, should be reported in XFree86's bugzilla bug tracker: http://bugs.xfree86.org That will ensure that the xkb maintainer, whom has recently been made an XFree86 core team developer, will be aware of the problem and hopefully fix it. Patches welcome. -- Mike A. Harris ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris OS Systems Engineer - XFree86 maintainer - Red Hat
