Right, but I'm not using KDE, I'm using Gnome. I've tried using an Evdev-managed keyboard, and I've tried using a generic pc105... all with no luck. Plus, I've already upgraded to 1.5.3-3.
The same that applies to KDE(mod) also applies to GNOME. You need to setup your keyboard as evdev managed keyboard when using evdev. Also, if you're using weird xmodmap things, be sure those things don't set the model to pc105 anyways, as it will break the keymaps also.
BTW: Is Gmail so braindead that it can't post plaintext to mailinglists? This HTML is really annoying.
I set everything to evdev managed and I took out my keyboard configuration out of xorg.conf and everything is working great. Had to remap everything like I mentioned before, but that was probably a 30 minute job. Now, one thing is really bothering me. There was a few issues to clean up, but now my keyboard rate is all messed up. When I'm browsing around documents or what not, I can use my arrow keys to navigate. Hold them down and I get the action I want... except my Left and Down arrows. There's no shortcut associated to them amd they are mapped properly, I just can't do a rated repeat. Anyone have any tips on what I could look for? BTW: Jan, hope turning off HTML formatting helps you out.
