| 2006-03-16 17:13:55 | Paul Sladen | xorg: statusexplanation | This current X mapping is defined by: /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86: <NMLK> = 77; and then: /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc: key <NMLK> { [ Num_Lock, Pointer_EnableKeys ] }; I think I now understand what's happening; Internally the ThinkPad controller is converting Shift+ScrLock to NumLock, but of course the Shift is still getting passed through to X, so this is what eventually gets us the: Shift+NumLock key-event, when it shouldn't be.

Mmmm. | Lets do it. If this causes people issues and requires further follow-up we can re-open it. xkeyboard-config (0.8-5) dapper; urgency=low . * Experimentally remove the default Shift-NumLock=>Pointer_EnableKeys (aka MouseKeys) policy so that NumLock works on ThinkPads (which send Shift+NumLock). If this causes problems for a large number of people it can be investigated. [Malone: #35080] |
