DetailsDescription:
When I set X.org to use "evdev" as driver and "evdev" as XKbModel, my system gets very unstable. Additional info: * current, extra and community packages * config: Section "InputDevice" # generated from default Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "evdev" Option "Protocol" "evdev" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event11" Option "XkbModel" "evdev" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbOptions" "compose:lwin" EndSection (I know that the "Device" option is discouraged, but my keyboard has two /dev/input/event1* files -> see http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Microsoft_Natural_Ergonomic_Keyboard_4000) Steps to reproduce: Configure the Keyboard to use "evdev" as driver and "evdev" as XkbModel. My gVim constantly crashes when I start it, and enter "ESC" or "j" (not in input mode!). Additional note: I wrote a udev rule to fix the keyboard to a certain /dev/input/event file (see the linked how-to): KERNEL=="event*",SYSFS{modalias}=="usb:v045Ep00DBd0173dc00dsc00dp00ic03isc01ip01", MODE="0644", NAME="input/event11" KERNEL=="event*",SYSFS{modalias}=="usb:v045Ep00DBd0173dc00dsc00dp00ic03isc00ip00", MODE="0644", NAME="input/event12" The whole configuration works on Ubuntu Feisty (32 bit version). My current solution is not to use "evdev" (which would enable only two more special keys - the "Zoom" slider). |
