John, sorry, but this is no fix, that's a workaround and above that it's highly incomplete as far as I know. I expect the same drawbacks as with xmodmap.
Real fix is the corrected hal keymap, see above. You might need to change the line 'contains="5220"' to 'contains_outof="5210;5220;5620"' in /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-acer.fdi -- [hardy] "Del"-key doesn't work on Acer Extensa laptops https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181057 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
