Any comments? Do you think that keyboards with pointer capabilities should sent MappinNotify?

I actually have one of these keyboards in a box somewhere, so hopefully I'll take a look at this soon ... Hi, I believe I may be suffering from a different symptom of this same problem, however I'm not entirely certain. Would this cause gnome-keyboard-properties to have no effect on the MX5500's input, yet running setxkbmap (like simply "setxkbmap pt_intl") works? Sorry if this is a different issue, I can't find an explanation for my problem and this is the closest I've seen. If I'm wrong let me know so I can file a bug for GNOME. Thanks and if there's any testing that could help (even if it's not my issue) please ask. ale ~~ (In reply to comment #3) > Would this cause gnome-keyboard-properties to have no effect on the MX5500's > input, yet running setxkbmap (like simply "setxkbmap pt_intl") works? This original problem is (or was, haven't checked if it works now) about using two keyboards simultaneously with different layouts. I just checked gnome-keyboard-properties and it can be used to set the MX5500 layout correctly, provided that you are only using a single layout for all of your keyboards. However, the gnome-keyboard-properties is not so intuitive. Let me explain how I made it work. By default I only have one layout in gnome-keyboard-properties: Finnish (*). I added a new layout and set it as default: Finnish (), USA (*). Still my keyboard has Finnish layout, because gnome configured has Finnish as the primary layout (primary group) and USA as secondary layout (group). If I change the order of layouts in gnome-keyboard-properties by dragging USA on top of Finnish, the USA layout is activated: USA (*), Finnish (). How many layouts have you configured in gnome-keyboard-properties and what is their order? What is the output of setxkbmap -print before your modifications in gnome-keyboard-properties? What is the output after your changes? I strongly believe your problem is just a gnome issue. This is a mass change of bugs. Bugs assigned to me that haven't been updated in the last 3 years are closed as WONTFIX, because, well, let's at least be honest about it. Please do not re-open unless you have a really good reason to do so (e.g. you're fixing it yourself). If it hasn't been fixed in the last 3 years, it probably won't be fixed anytime soon either. Sorry. |
