Forwarding this bug and patch from Ubuntu: X.org keyboard database in Ubuntu Karmic doesn't provide keycode mappings nor keysyms for Apples Expose & Dashboard keys (F3/F4) although the Linux kernel's evdev layer reports correct keycodes. The attached patch adds the required keycode definitions to /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev as well as symbols to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet (evdev section). Those symbols finally can be used to configure compiz. Note: I assigned the symbols XF86LaunchA and XF86LaunchB due to a lack of better alternatives. This is package version: $ apt-cache policy xkb-data xkb-data: Installed: 1.6-1ubuntu5 Candidate: 1.6-1ubuntu5 Version table: 1.7-1ubuntu3 0 1 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com lucid/main Packages *** 1.6-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
