Dear X11 Users,
I am experiencing trouble with modifier keys in XQuartz[1], and did
not find any matching symptoms in the mailing list FAQ, in the mailing
list archive, nor in the Trac bug system. Any piece of advice would be
much appreciated.
I am successfully running a window manager in XQuartz, in full screen
mode, on the localhost (no XDMCP involved), however the window manager
is irresponsive to key shortcuts. Here is the various diagnostics I
made:
- the xev(1) program responds correctly to each key, including
modifiers key (including the alt key and the apple key): keycodes and
keysyms are properly printed, and the modifiers are not `stuck' and do
not repeat;
- emacs(1) (a gtk toolkit version) responds correctly to the various
APPLE+x commands (M-x in Emacs'slang);
- I have run two window managers fluxbox and fvwm2, and none of them
did react to shortcuts;
- I have played with XQuartz preferences flags, without modifying
window managers behavior;
- I also noticed, in the startx output, the following line:
(EE) XKB: Couldn't open rules file /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb/rules/base
(twice) indeed, there is no such a directory as /usr/share/X11/xkb on
my system.
I could not dig `the' X.0.log file since I have no idea where it lies
on the mac.
I have really no idea what is going on, and any help will be much
appreciated!
[1] Configuration description:
Mac OS X 10.5.7 XQuartz 2.3.3 running on a Macbook
I am using Macports,
I am starting the window manager from a
~/.xinitrc.d/99-wm.sh
file whose content is `cd $HOME; exec /opt/local/bin/startfluxbox'
Just in case, here is the complete startx output:
