Hi, at x11@: please CC me. Is someone seeing some strange keyboard behavior recently? I updated =20 to -current after gcc4.2 and xorg 7 and everything was fine. Then I =20 updated this week some ports (all which where stale since last week), =20 and boom, the system doesn't print all the characters I type anymore. =20 Symptom: a-z and numbers work, but the keys for German umlauts produce =20 strange characters I've never typed before. I can not produce @ with =20 the keyboard anymore (no output at all). I also can not switch to a =20 console (ctrl+alt+Fx). I don't remember which ports where stale, but maybe gtk and perhaps =20 some xorg port was updated... I didn't change any config or updated the basesystem (there was no =20 reboot, just a restart of gdm... more correctly, I stopped and started =20 the jail where my desktop is running in, but there was no change to =20 the host at all, and no change in the jail except for an portupgrade), =20 so I think something in the xorg-gnome chain is eating my keypresses =20 and spitting out some garbage. Anyone with an idea what this is or how =20 to find out what the problem is? Bye, Alexander. --=20 Once I finally figured out all of life's answers, they changed the questions. http://www.Leidinger.net Alexander @ Leidinger.net: PGP ID =3D B0063FE7 http://www.FreeBSD.org netchild @ FreeBSD.org : PGP ID =3D 72077137
