Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xephyr
I'm using Dapper and Xephyr 6.6.1ubuntu3. I use the French Canadian (ca_FR or ca(fr)) keyboard mapping under X, and all goes well. But when I'm using Xephyr, the "alt car" key (the alt key right of the space bar if you have an English keyboard) is not recognized and therefore I can't use many important symbols : \ @ [ ] { } ~ for examples. This is really annoying. If you want to reproduce the bug but don't have a ca_FR keyboard and thus don't know why key to press, use the following US layout keys. I remind you the altcar key is the alt key right of the space bar. \ = altcar + ` @ = altcar + 2 [ = altcar + [ ] = altcar + ] { = altcar + ' } = altcar + \ ~ = altcar + ; ** Affects: xserver-kdrive (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: xorg-server => xserver-kdrive -- Xephyr don't handle the "alt car" key in ca_FR keymap https://launchpad.net/bugs/78718 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
