Folks,
Chris Farmer sent me lots of xev output from his Mandrake system. After
decoding all the weirdo stuff that was being reported I think I've solved
the problem. BUT, not having a Mandrake to test it on I'd really
appreciate some help...
If you've had keyboard/pointer problems in recent 3.1 VMs then please
would you take 2 minutes to download the following binary:
http://www-sor.inria.fr/~piumarta/squeak/unix/3.1current/bld/squeak
and let me know if it solves your mapping problems.
(Details: the code in the above VM is "immune" to junk in the "state"
member in X key/button events [which for some reason was completely absurd
in Mandrake] and will instead track the modifier state using the keysyms
reported in press/release events.)
If this 3.1 VM works for you then I'll pull the changes forward into
3.[32]-devel.
Thanks!
Ian
