[opensuse] new issue in SuSE 10.2: "Down" and "End" key always bring up "computer" panel
I got this really disturbing problem after upgraded to SuSE 10.2: whenever I press the "down" arrow key or the "End" key, it always make SuSE pop up "Computer" panel (the panel that look like start menu in Windows). I hit "down" or "End" button once every 50 seconds, that means every hour I get annoyed by it more then 60 times, I am very close to throw this stupid damn computer out of window. I checked shortcut key configuration and it seems "Computer Panel" is defined as "Alt+F1", then I changed it to some other shortcut key, but still, hit 'down' or 'End' bring up this panel. The more stupid behavior is if I hit "Windows" key, which is used to bring up Start Menu on Windows, the "Computer Panel" do not pop up, so it looks SuSE think 'Down' and 'End' are actually two "Windows" bottons. But still, there is one place 'Down' button does work, that is when I have clicked a drop-down selection list (any drop-down selection list will do, e.g. Firefox's address bar's drop down menu, Evolution's drop-down menu, any application's menu bar's menu). I open gnome shotcut define dialog box, define a shortcut key for an item, and when asked to press a key, I press "Down" and it shows that the short cut key I defined is "Down", that means, gnome *knows well* I pressed *Down*, not the stupid windows key. So where do I start to solve this problem? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Run 'xev' and see which key symbols you get. E.g. "END" key KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x5800001, root 0x48, subw 0x0, time 133294200, (-50,454), root:(940,510), state 0x0, keycode 103 (keysym 0xff57, End), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: "Page Down" key KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x5800001, root 0x48, subw 0x0, time 133299716, (-50,454), root:(940,510), state 0x0, keycode 105 (keysym 0xff56, Next), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: If the keys are not what they're suppost to be you'll have to use another keyboard definition file in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, or switch keys with xmodmap (in your ~/.Xmodmap file) (you can do that with xkeycaps).
