(I'm not sure if this is an X issue so feel free to point me somewhere more appropriate :))
I've got ubuntu 10.4 running under virtualbox 4.02 on a macbook pro. The mac has the caps lock and control switched. So when using the laptop keyboard the caps lock key effectively serves a control key. When I plug in my usb external keyboard the caps and control key on it are not switched. So I ran the following under ubuntu:: setxkbmap -option ctrl:swapcaps Now the control key on my external (and the laptop keyboard) serve as a caps lock key. But.... the caps lock key doesn't serve a a ctrl modifier. When I run xev, it registers the control key, but when I combine it with another key, say ctrl-a it only recognizes the a. (state in xev is 0x0 instead of 0x4). The right control key in combination with an a shows the state as 0x4 and appears to be the only functioning control key now. I saw that someone was having similar problems 2 years ago with an adesso keyboard. My keyboard is a unicomp endura pro and the reason I'm confused is that I've been using it with a thinkpad t61p on gentoo and didn't have any issues with the swapping there. Any ideas? hints? thanks much, matt _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
