DetailsDescription:
When I run showkey and press any key, the key code shown is 8 less than the key code used by xmodmap. For example, running $(xmodmap -e 'keycode 105 = F') will cause the right ctrl key on my keyboard to print "f" even though showkey said the left arrow key's keycode is 105 and right ctrl's is 97. Additional info: * package version(s) core/kbd 1.15.3-1 extra/xorg-xmodmap 1.0.5-2 |

Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: Kernel keycodes and X keycodes are different. The evdev driver adds 8 to all keycodes because the ranges in X and kernel differ:
