--- Comment #8 from Andrey S
Option "XkbModel" "logiik" Sounds rather special,
Really? That's just a model of a Logitech keyboard, but it doesn't really matter. This option is for the additional media-keys. I can change it to Microsoft or something else. Result is the same.
but all in all I think it's a duplicate of Bug #432627.
Hmm, maybe I don't really understand the term 'duplicate' right, but I don't think it is a duplicate of Bug #432627. Here is why: 1) I don't use KDE 4 (I use KDE 3) 2) I don't use autologin 2) Backspace and arrow keys DO work normally, as they should. Furthermore, I tested things in 'Failsafe' session straight in the console, which opens upon login. Results are the same: ==> Keyboard layout won't change ==> Alt+Ctrl+F1(-F10) shortcuts don't work, ... .. unless I - downgrade to xkeyboard-config 1.2-* - issue setxkbmap command So I can conclude that problem is totally KDE unrelated, unlike the bug #432627: "Have tested failsafe session. Keyboard works fine in xterm and Firefox, allkeys working good" (see this comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432627#c7) So I guess, the real problem is that X.Org doesn't load proper configuration from xorg.conf (or has configuration syntax changed??). And it is not related with non-working Backspace in KDE 4 or arrow keys or is it? And there is also one strange thing, that I don't really understand. It is the fact that empty fields in keyboard layout configuration window disappear and everything is back to normal if I downgrade to xkeyboard-config 1.2-* . -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
