Please verify if you see the old behaviour when using kbd driver by adding Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" to ServerFlags section of xorg.conf.

I'll open a bugreport against my eyes ;-) With the changed config, the keycodes changed back to the values from 11.1. :-) (In reply to comment #6)

Compare keycodes in .. I don't believe we can change these definitions.

Indeed, this would explain the changes. If this is really an intended change (looks so), I'll change my Xmodmap to the evdev keycodes. (I opened this bug because I thought the changes happened accidently.) Maybe you should add a small note to the release notes: X now uses the evdev keyboard driver by default. If you use Xmodmap to modify your keyboard layout, you'll have to update some keycodes. If you want to switch back to the old keyboard driver, add Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" to the 'ServerFlags' section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

For updates we'll add

Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"

to ServerFlags of existing xorg.conf beginning with Milestone 8.

This seems to work too good ;-) Section "ServerFlags" Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" # probably added by the package update Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" # probably added by the package update Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "on" Option "ZapWarning" "on" Option "Xinerama" "0" # testing - bug 539135 Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" # that's the line I added manually EndSection Please add the AutoAddDevices option only if it isn't there yet. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This issue has already been fixed. Meanwhile it's only added as a comment - and only once. :-)

OK, just verified this in rpm -q --scripts xorg-x11-server - the script looks good. This also means that there will be keycode changes on upgrades - that's worth a release notes entry IMHO.

And meanwhile we also figured out that the keycode changes are not related to evdev driver against kbd driver. It appears to be a general change in Xserver. Oh well ...

Nice. That sounds like a section in the release notes would be useful ;-) Please comment on Bug 551727 if my proposed text is correct. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
