200.2UTRTSC::KNOPPERSOswald KnoppersTue May 13 1997 15:5410
Hi,

I have the same problem as .0 but have no idea what to do with the file in
.1 apart from placing it in /usr/lib/kbd/keytables.... Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks,

Oswald

PS Running RedHat V4.1 release.

    Well, in Red Hat 3.0.3, you'd edit /etc/sysconfig/keyboard to point to
    the map you've constructed.

200.4doesn't workUTRTSC::KNOPPERSOswald KnoppersTue May 13 1997 17:2113
Doesn't make any difference. For instance my keypad-minus doesn't work. xev
tells me this key generates keycode 123, but has no symbol associated with
it. If I try the command: xmodmap -e 'keycode 123=KP_subtract' I get the
error:

xmodmap:  commandline:0:  bad keycode value (out of range)
xmodmap:  1 error encountered, aborting.

Also if I try to use the 'DO" key, my xserver crashes...

Thanks for any suggestions.

    re: .4
    
    No magic answers here, I'm afraid, but:
    
    	a) did you reboot Linux after changing the pointer to the keymap?
    
    	b) when you do an 'xmodmap -pke', does it look something like your
    	   keytable?  Is there an entry (blank or otherwise) for keycode 123?
    
    	c) are you using the Metro X server?  If so, unfortunately, I have
    	   not used it (yet).
