I'm running 2.1.5 w/ the X distribution from 2.1.0. My laptop runs fine with 2.2-960323-SNAP & the associated X distribution. On both machines, I have the same .kbd file that I kbdcontrol at startup. When I do this, I get the same keystroke results - specifically: anorak:/usr/home/brian $ egrep bs\|del /etc/uk.anorak.kbd 014 del del del del del del del del O 035 'h' 'H' bs bs 'h' 'H' bs bs C 070 slock slock del del slock slock del del O 083 bs bs bs bs bs bs bs bs N Both the <-- and the DEL key send 0x7f. I have no .Xmodmap file in my home directory. Using X, the keystrokes have the same effect, but display differently. On the 2.2 system, the cursor rubs out the character before. On the 2.1.5 system it doesn't (although the "erase" is actually done). Does anyone know what may be causing this ? I've tried to tell Xmodmap to help, but it's already doing what I want - it just doesn't display correctly. I've tried exchanging the XKeysymDB files too - no joy. TIA. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
