http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556418#c0 Summary: Refering old release notes (RN: Xorg keycode changes) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Release Notes AssignedTo: ke@novell.com ReportedBy: ke@novell.com QAContact: coolo@novell.com CC: mhopf@novell.com, sndirsch@novell.com, suse-beta@cboltz.de, zscherni@arcor.de Found By: Documentation Blocker: --- +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #551727 +++ The X-server has changed some keycodes since openSUSE 11.1. This will hit users that upgrade from a previous openSUSE release and have a .Xmodmap. For details, see bug 539135. You can find a list of changed keycodes here: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/upgrade-veraendert-keycodes/#post-1673668 AFAIK the list is not complete (the start of the page contains some more changed keycodes for the cursor keys). Also the link is probably not really suitable for the openSUSE release notes ;-) Proposed text for the release notes (unless Stefan writes a better one): == X.org keycode changes == Some X.org keycodes have changed compared to openSUSE 11.1. If you are using a Xmodmap file, you might have to change some keycodes. See http://... for a list of new keycodes or use xev to find out the new keycodes. You can switch back to the old keycodes by adding Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" in the "ServerFlags" of your xorg.conf. @Stefan: is this text correct? ============================================================================= (In reply to comment #14)

I think there should be a note in the release-notes for suse 11.2, 11.3, 12.
Thus far, we do not do this. We expect the user to check older release notes in case he updates from an older release.
Such things must be discuss on an appropriate ML.
Well - try to find the older release notes. I could imagine to put the older below the actuel, which you find on http://www.suse.de/relnotes/i386/openSUSE/11.2/RELEASE-NOTES.en.html This starts with a large header openSUSE 11.2 Release Notes so below could come the next large header openSUSE 11.1 Release Notes and so on or at least!!!!!!!! links to the older!!!! Has the latter to be discussed? (And the first would have be to discussed where?) -- 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.
