Hello!
I noticed that X no longer sends kp_8 kp_2 ... but kp_up kp_down
... keysyms to Emacs, I thought that it is a numlock issue so I
installed numlockx application to turn on my numlock.
Unfortunately it fails:
,----
| ignotus agony:~ [1752:1]% numlockx on
| X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
| Major opcode of failed request: 148 (XTEST)
| Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (X_XTestFakeInput)
| Value in failed request: 0x0
| Serial number of failed request: 19
| Current serial number in output stream: 22
| zsh: exit 1 numlockx on
`----
(I use my real numlock key for switching keyboard mouse on/off.)
I thought the reason of numlockx not working was maybe my xserver being
too old (4.2.something), so I upgraded that to 4.3.0 (Debian sid).
Numlockx still did not work, but I got a lot more severe problem:
control-alt-f1 became control-alt-f13, c-a-f2 became c-a-f14 etc, so now
I can't switch to a console or to another x server (only with Linux
magic sysrq key).
How can I solve these problems?
Ps: news.gmane.org lists lot of xfree86 newsgroups, I tried
gmane.comp.xfree86.expert and gmane.comp.xfree86.newbie, both seems to
be dead for me (~1 year old messages are the newest), so I subscribed to
this list.
