Hi,

Oh my goodness...
I am using Wayland!!!

merc@merc-ThinkPad-X220:/disk/home/merc$ ps ax | grep wayl

I didn't think it'd be the default. It just works so beautifully... I assumed it was Xorg!
Also, I used Xmodmap to remap some keys. So... I had no hints that I was not running Xorg.

Soooooooooo the question then would be: I know _zip_ about Wayland. This is obviously a hardware issue that we could get around with some Xorg magic.

Is there any way to replicate the 'fix' with Wayland?

Merc.

P.S.
Oh my, do we really live in a post-Xorg world _finally_? I've been waiting for it ever since the world talked about "Berlin" (I doubt anybody here would even know what I am talking about... This was published some 18 years ago (!) https://nnc3.com/mags/LM10/issue/04/Berlin.pdf )
